 Growing Demand for HERS Ratings in Massachusetts

A HERS Rating measures a home’s energy efficiency compared to a reference home built to standard code. Under performance-based pathways adopted by many Massachusetts municipalities, third-party verification by a certified HERS Rater is often required.

Home Energy Efficiency Consultants provides statewide coverage, including service support in:

• Boston
• Cambridge
• Somerville
• Brookline
• Newton
• Quincy
• Revere
• Hingham
• Burlington
• Brockton
• Acton
• Watertown and surrounding Greater Boston and Eastern Massachusetts communities.

As more cities and towns adopt advanced energy performance standards, the demand for certified HERS Rating professionals across Massachusetts continues to increase.

Supporting ADUs and High-Performance Homes

With Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) expanding across Massachusetts communities, energy code compliance remains an important consideration for residential construction. Home Energy Efficiency Consultants provides HERS verification services for new construction, renovation projects, and ADUs designed to meet Stretch Code standards.

In some projects, homes modeled and tested by the firm may pursue advanced performance goals such as Zero Energy Ready Home standards. Strategies may include enhanced insulation systems, high-efficiency heat pumps, energy recovery ventilation (ERV), and rooftop solar integration depending on the design and project scope.
