The Home Energy Rating System was designed to work in a similar way to “miles per gallon.”  It’s a consistent, and unbiased way to rate a home’s energy efficiency.  The report is required by HUD if you are applying for an Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEMs).  The EEMs gives homebuyers incentives to “remodel” their existing homes to be more energy efficient, and it gives incentives to new homebuyers as well.

Meridian Green is a program designed to give even more incentives to homebuyers desiring to increase the efficiency in their homes - we’ve taken months to understand the difference between what is actually in a HERS report and an Energy Audit (for instance) and we would be glad to refer you to local experts!
