100% Energy Star + Zero Energy Ready Homes

The Future of Housing


A Department of Energy-certified Zero Energy Ready Home is a
high-performance home that is so energy efficient, most or all of its annual energy use can be offset with renewable energy.  

This results in homes that are 40%-50% more efficient than the typical new home—even without solar or other on-site renewable power.

YOUR HOME IS NOT ENERGY EFFICIENT AND IS GENERATING ADDITIONAL COSTS RATHER THAN SAVING YOU MONEY

This house is a WHOPPING 50% LESS ENERGY EFFICIENT THAN A STANDARD NEW HOME! It could be a significant financial drain on the bank account and to the environment in general.

HERS RATING

YOUR HOME IS NOT ENERGY EFFICIENT AND IS GENERATING ADDITIONAL COSTS RATHER THAN SAVING YOU MONEY

This score puts this house near the very top of the HERS Index; a position a homeowner definitely doesn’t want to be in! What this translates into, in terms of energy efficiency, is that this home is performing 40% worse than a home adhering to the basic building code requirements. This is probably one of the major reasons for its high energy costs, less than ideal comfort level and, though one might not be directly aware of it, its negative impact on the environment.

HERS RATING

YOUR HOME IS NOT ENERGY EFFICIENT AND IS GENERATING ADDITIONAL COSTS RATHER THAN SAVING YOU MONEY

This is the typical resale home score. That means if you’re in the market for a home, this house will be at least 30% less energy efficient than it should be. Therefore, the smart way to buy a home is to determine its HERS Index score before you decide to buy. If you decide to purchase such a house, you should definitely consider taking advantage of an Energy Improvement Mortgage.
