We want to focus in this blog about the energy efficiency of new hubble homes. I am going to try and explain it in plain english because sometimes it is confusing. The HERS index is a rating scale of how energy efficient your home is. Basically like the MPG rate for a car. It is determined by taking into account things like insulation levels, climate zone, orientation (which way the house is facing), the number and quality of windows, air duct system, and if there are renewable energy systems in place. All of these things are added up in an energy modeling software and then out comes a HERS rating score for the house! The lower the score the more energy efficient the house. Having an energy efficient home comes with many benefits including comfort, healthy air, a better future and savings! The average HERS score for a home is 100. So if you have a HERS score lower than 100 your home is very energy efficient. Let’s take an example. A home that receives a score of 120 is 40 points more than a home with a score of 80. So a home of 80 is 33% more energy efficient than a home of 120. Therefore a home owner can expect to save 33% on energy costs. This is better than buying a bunch of Energy Star appliances because HERS index tells you how energy efficient the whole home is. This is the system Hubble Homes uses. We want a better community so don’t just go with the flow on energy use.
