Passive House Institute U.S. (PHIUS)

HERS (Home Energy Rating System) Rating is a standardized assessment of a home's energy efficiency. It quantifies the energy performance by comparing the home's energy use to a reference home built to code. A lower HERS score indicates better efficiency; a HERS score of 0 represents a net-zero energy home, while 100 signifies the energy use of a standard new home. It id used to guide energy improvements and certify home’s energy-saving features

Inspection: Examining the home, noting insulation, windows, HVAC systems, lighting, and appliances

Energy Modeling: Calculating the home's potential energy use and compares it to a reference home

HERS Score: Generating a HERS score reflecting the home's efficiency. Lower scores indicate better energy performance

Recommendations: Suggesting energy-saving improvements to enhance the home's efficiency and providing a detailed report (e.g., findings, recommendations, and estimated savings)

Blower Door Testing: Conducting blower door tests to measure the building's airtightness and minimize heat loss

Duct Blaster Testing: Ensuring tight ductwork to minimize energy loss and maintain consistent indoor temperatures

Ventilation System Testing: Confirming the effectiveness of a controlled ventilation system that maintains indoor air quality

Thermal Enclosure Verification: Ensuring proper installation of all control layers including the air boundary and the entire thermal enclosure

High-Performance Windows and Insulation: Validating the installation of high-quality windows and insulation for minimal energy transfer and maximum durability

HVAC System Verification: Checking heating, ventilation, and cooling systems for efficiency and proper installation

Water Management: Assessing water protection measures to prevent moisture-related issues and promote indoor air quality
