ChadCan.com: HERS rating...not to be confused with the "his and hers" rating of the master bathroom.

HERS rating...not to be confused with the "his and hers" rating of the master bathroom.

Here is a GREAT article explaining more about the Home Energy Efficiency Rating System that was put together by the people at Energy Star.

The gist:

The HERS rating shows HOW much BETTER the efficiency is than if the home were to have just been built to the most current "code."

SO: a home built to code would have a rating of 100.

A more energy efficient home would have a HERS index rating of LESS than that.

Each "point" is a "percentage of efficiency." SO: if a home is rated an 85, it is 15% MORE efficient than a standard home built to code.

The homes with high enough HERS ratings will give the home an opportunity for an Energy Efficient Mortgage or EEM.

Cheers,

Chad

“Chad originated my loan for my home purchase in Mississippi. I thought it might be difficult to work with a loan officer who was not in my city but he made it so easy. I felt like he was close by through the entire process. Everything went smoothly, we closed on time, and the costs associated with the loan were lower than he stated at the beginning. I recommended him a couple of months later to a coworker of mine (remember Cody?) and Chad provided him with the same great experience.”
