HERS RATING HOME ENERGY SCALE DISCLAIMER This Home Energy Scale may be displayed on a model home or utilized in other marketing materials for homes within this community, illustrating a projected “HERS” Score Rating and potential utility savings. Energy efficiency ratings may be expressed as a HERS (Home Energy Rating System) Index rating. The HERS Index® is a registered trademark of the Residential Energy Services Network (“RESNET”), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 1995 to develop and maintain national standards for evaluating building energy and resource energy performance. The HERS (“Home Energy Rating System”) Index allows buyers to compare the relative energy efficiency of different homes. The HERS Index home energy rating is determined by an independent RESNET-certified home energy rater (“Rater”). The lower a home’s score, the more energy efficient it is in comparison to the HERS referenced home. For every one-point decrease in the HERS Index score, there is a corresponding one percent (1%) reduction in energy consumption as compared to a home with a HERS Index of 100. Using RESNET’S energy efficiency software, the Rater determines a home’s energy rating by analyzing the home’s construction plans and performing onsite inspections; the HERS rating provided by Seller is generally not an “as-built” rating.
