Greenstamp: Certified HERS Rater
All new home or addition construction in Massachusetts will require a HERS rater on the project in order for it to earn the ENERGY STAR® label. An ENERGY STAR home is substantially more energy efficient than those built to the minimum code requirements. The ENERGY STAR label remains the symbol for truly energy-efficient performance, which is good for homeowners, businesses, and the environment.
Other uses for energy ratings include:
- Verification of a home’s energy performance for EPA’s ENERGY STAR Homes Program
- Verification of energy savings for energy efficient mortgages (EEMs)
- Performance option for energy code compliance
- Verification of energy performance benefits and funded residential energy efficiency programs
- Verification of federal income tax credits for builders
