HERS Rating
At A9 Green, our team includes RESNET certified HERS Raters. HERS Raters are a crucial part of your project, from start to finish. We work with your team from the earliest stages of design and construction to help solve any potential problems and produce solutions to improve your building's energy performance. Throughout construction and until the completion of the project, we will consult with you to achieve an outstanding HERS Rating Score, reduce your construction costs, and provide thousands in rebates to eligible projects.
Massachusetts energy codes are now the most stringent they have ever been, making it extremely difficult for new projects to pass a HERS inspection. Without consistent involvement from a certified HERS Rater at A9 Green, your project faces the risk of failing the required energy codes and being denied a Certificate of Occupancy.
Our Three Phase Process
Phase 1: Plans Review & Energy Modeling
After receiving your architectural plans we will generate an energy model of your building to display how this specific project will perform energy wise and create a preliminary HERS certificate - needed by most towns to obtain your building permit.
Phase 2: Energy Consulting & Midpoint Inspection
Phase 3: Final Inspection & Testing
After construction is completed and the house is in move-in condition we will perform our final inspection and testing which could include blower door and duct leakage test.
We will generate our full HERS calculation, process your final utility incentives, and create the final certificate to receive your Certificate of Occupancy.
