What Is a HERS Rating?

The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index measures a home’s energy efficiency compared to a reference home.

• A score of 100 = standard reference home

• Lower scores = better efficiency

• Each point typically represents about a 1% difference in energy use

HERS ratings are widely used in Massachusetts to demonstrate compliance with Stretch Code and performance-based pathways.
