HERS Rating
The lower the score, the more energy efficient the home is. This rating is based on several energy efficient variables, including exterior walls, attic, windows & doors, heating & cooling systems, ductwork, water heating systems, lighting and appliances. A typical home made from wood scores around 100. This home comes with a HERS rating of 40.
From the high insulation (R20) built into the SCIP, to the super-efficient heat pump, healthy ventilation system that filters, purifies & sterilizes the air coming into the house, this home is a high-performing, energy efficient building, built to keep your family safe!
