The Home Energy Rating System, or "HERS", Index estimates how your home performs compared to a house built to code. Just as MPG is the measure of your car’s efficiency, a HERS Index score is the energy-efficiency measurement standard for homes adopted by numerous municipalities and organizations, including ENERGY STAR and LEED for Homes.
At Populus, we provide you with HERS Rating services and consulting to help you achieve your desired HERS Index score and the measurement and verification services to demonstrate compliance with performance-based codes and green building programs.
Populus can perform energy modeling and analysis of your home during the design phase to help you optimize energy performance. Our approach gives design teams maximum flexibility and room for innovation to customize energy efficiency solutions for their projects.
Have a project outside of Colorado? Building a net-zero house in Hawaii? The more exotic, the better. Give us a call. We love to travel.
Populus has experience providing energy analysis, code consulting and HERS rating services on both single-family and multi-family residential projects. Whether you're interested in weighing the cost and benefit of energy efficiency features or going all the way to net-zero energy, Populus has the expertise you need.
