Whether you are buying or selling a residential property, or staying in your current home, every Californian should know his or her home energy rating. Wasted energy wastes more than just your money – it changes our climate. The scientific community agrees that we must act now or risk facing an uncertain future.
The California Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Program provides a reliable way to estimate and compare the energy efficiency of California homes and identify wise energy saving improvements. This booklet explains how the HERS program works and helps you find a qualified professional to rate your own home. Once you know your home energy rating, you will be able to choose smart energy upgrades and investments that will benefit your family now… and generations to come.
