ENERGY STAR® Home Rating Rebate

About the Program:
ENERGY STAR qualified homes must meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. ENERGY STAR rated homes are at least 15% more energy-efficient than homes built to the 2004 International Residential Code (IRC), and include additional energy-saving features that typically make them 20-30% more efficient than standard homes.

An ENERGY STAR Home Rating is performed by a certified Home Energy Rating System (HERS) rater. The HERS rater inspects the home’s energy loads, such as:

Insulation levels
Window efficiency
Wall-to-window ratios
Heating and cooling system efficiency
Water heating system efficiency
Number of ENERGY STAR qualified lighting and appliances
Infiltration measurement
Duct performance
