If you have never been through a HERS rating, knowing the steps ahead of time makes the process smooth and predictable.
Step One: Plan Review
It begins with your plans and project details. The rater reviews the design, identifies the compliance pathway, and builds an initial energy model with a target score.
Step Two: Guidance and Targets
The rater outlines the insulation, air sealing, equipment, and testing needed to hit the target, giving the team clear direction before and during construction.
Step Three: Field Testing
At the appropriate stages, the rater performs blower door and duct leakage testing and verifies installed components against the model.
Step Four: Reports and Certification
Finally, you receive the rating and compliance documents needed for your inspector and any incentive programs. We guide you through each step. Reach out to begin your project.
