NEW RESNET ENERGY SMART BUILDERS DESIGNATED IN NOVEMBER 2013

December 4th, 2013 - Posted by RESNET under RESNET News
An increasing number of builders are taking advantage of the marketing power of the RESNET HERS Index Score. Over the past month, builders from South Dakota to Alabama have entered into Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with RESNET. In the MOUs, the builders commit to having their homes energy rated by a certified RESNET rater and marketing their homes’ HERS Index Score.
The following are the new state and local builders who have made the HERS Index Score commitment in November 2013:

With the new changes coming in Real Estate and to the MLS about HERS Rated homes, if Realtors do not educate themselves on the benefits and the quality of a HERS Rated home and keep relaying on the square footage of a home, these Realtors are going to obsolete as using roofing paper for house sheathing.
