Energy Efficient New Construction
Home Energy Raters LLC provides support services to help home builders, architects, and developers navigate energy code compliance issues and Energy Star Home Certification, with an emphasis on practical, low costs strategies.
Hands on Experience + Lessons Learned = Builder Friendly Strategies
The Home Energy Raters team of specialists is supported by twenty plus years of hands on construction contracting and thousands of infrared thermal inspections completed on a wide variety of buildings throughout New England.
Applying the lessons learned from troubleshooting problems in existing homes to preemptively build-in better details in new construction has proved to be an advantageous approach to help builders gain energy efficiency benefits at the lowest cost and hassle factor.
Our experience confirms that the most cost effective way to build energy efficient homes is to identify any weak links during the design and construction process, before it’s too late. Our pre-construction plan analysis and energy modeling builds an energy profile of the home to help determine the smartest, most cost effective, strategies.
High Performance Homes, Made Simple
Home Energy Raters LLC provides all the code compliance documents and handles all the red tape, and rebate paperwork. Based on our plans analysis we provide a scaled down, builder friendly, punch list to help meet the project goals. In addition we will meet your subcontractors in the field to answer questions, provide training, and quality assurance through performance testing.
Financial Incentives
Thanks to the support of The Massachusetts New Homes with ENERGY STAR® Program financial incentives are available for qualifying projects to help cover rating, and certification fees. In addition there are also targeted rebates for specific high efficiency heating, cooling and hot water systems plus free energy saving bulbs for the entire home.
