HERS Rating Roxbury, MA

HERS Rating Services in Roxbury, MA

HERS Rating Company provides certified HERS Index ratings throughout Roxbury, one of Boston’s original communities and the geographic heart of the city. Roxbury sits on the bedrock that gives the area its name — Roxbury Puddingstone, the state rock of Massachusetts, used in many of its historic foundations. After electric trolley service arrived in 1887, families poured in, creating Roxbury’s distinctive mix of Victorian rowhouses and pitched-roof three-deckers. In climate zone 5A, our RESNET-accredited raters deliver fast, accurate energy ratings across this historic housing while keeping projects compliant with Boston’s energy code.

Whether you are restoring a puddingstone-foundation three-decker near Dudley Square or building new infill housing in Roxbury, our certified HERS raters provide every document the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department requires for permits and final inspections.

Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code in Roxbury

Boston has adopted the Specialized Opt-in Stretch Energy Code (225 CMR Ch. 22), built on IECC 2021, requiring new construction and major renovations to be verified by a certified HERS rater. Roxbury projects must meet air-tightness targets confirmed by blower door testing and duct leakage testing — important work in the neighborhood’s older masonry rowhouses and wood-frame three-deckers. We provide all documentation required by the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department.
