| We utilize computerized energy modeling on most of the homes that we evaluate. We feel that the data generated provides important decision-making information regarding energy efficient upgrades. It helps with project prioritization, savings, and payback decisions. Depending on how the home performs (before or after improvements), we can sometimes show that your home meets the Energy Star requirements. This can be valuable at the time of resale. |
The REM Software Series home energy analysis software is designed to help homebuilders, home designers, energy consultants, home improvement contractors, utilities, and home energy rating organizations with critical energy analysis for residential structures. This user-friendly software is used by organizations which operate home energy rating systems (HERS). HERS rates the energy efficiency of homes for identifying cost-effective improvements and providing energy-efficient mortgages. Climate data are available for cities and towns throughout North America. |
