What is a Home Energy Rating (HERS)?

 

A HERS Rating is an official analysis of a home’s energy performance.  The process involves an analysis of a home’s construction plans and on-site inspections.  Included are an assessment of building components, performance testing (Blower Door and Duct Blaster tests) and energy modeling with accredited software and a HERS Report.

 

Enercept is an environmentally conscious company that encourages the practice of “reduce, reuse, and recycle.”

 

  • The OSB sheathing is derived from fast growth, replaceable tree crops.
  • The EPS foam insulation used in Enercept panels does not contain any CFC’s, HCFC’s, formaldehyde, and does not produce harmful off-gassing.
  • All waste foam in the plant is recycled for reuse. Enercept basement panels use up to 80% recycled EPS foam.
  • The pre-engineered nature of the Enercept system virtually eliminates job site waste during framing, creating less stress on our valuable landfills.
  • Enercept homes use an average of 50% less energy than conventionally framed homes. Residential energy use constitutes 20 percent of all U.S. carbon dioxide air pollution. It also accounts for 26 percent of sulfur dioxide and 15 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions.
