Does New Construction in Boston Need a HERS Rating?
Yes. Boston has adopted the MA Stretch Code 2021, which requires all new residential construction to obtain a HERS Rating from a certified HERS Rater before a certificate of occupancy is issued. This applies to single-family homes, multifamily buildings (3 stories or less), and ADUs in Boston.
Boston HERS Rating Requirements
For new construction in Boston, the MA Stretch Code 2021 requires: a HERS score of 55 or less; a blower door test result of 3.0 ACH50 or less; a duct leakage test of 4 CFM25/100 sq ft or less (if ducted HVAC); and all testing by a RESNET-certified HERS Rater. Boston also has BERDO requirements for larger buildings — contact us to discuss your specific project.
