Category 1: Energy- HERS Index
FGBC uses a whole house energy performance rating called the HERS (Home Energy Rating) Index vs. an exhaustive list of energy saving alternatives. The energy rater just left this morning and it looks like the house will score ok. The list above shows what's involved in the rating. It takes into account not just heating and cooling and water heating but also, lighting, appliances etc. I receive the HERS score in 4 weeks.Labels: FGBCchecklist, HERSindex

Dear Mrs. Gottfried, I miss your posts and I am still waiting to find out how your HERS index turned out. Also, could you share with us the performance of your house. Especially your utility usage. That really helps people understand why it's worthwhile to go the extra mile in the first place. Thank you again for your efforts. Shawn Harvey at Greencastle, Inc
Hi, Timely comment as I just started posting again in order to finish with the certification. HERS rating not that great but the house overall works out well. Post more on that later but thanks for leaving your comments.
