Learn More about the HERS Score and Home Energy Efficiency

This video from John Bell, the Director at Sustainable Housing Foundation, is not to be missed if you are trying to get everything you want in your new home. Most people know what they want in a new home when it comes to granite counter tops, hardwood floors, and other details, but often they don’t think about what makes a home more efficient. It’s important to look at things like renewable energy systems, better mechanical equipment, and more airtight homes. These features in your home will continue to lower your monthly bills, long after the signatures are dry on your purchase contract. Energy Efficiency is a must in any new home in this day and age, and John Bell will give you more insight into the HERS index of homes.
