In the podcast, Ryan takes us on a journey describing many facets of HERSH2O® including the driving forces behind this project, how this standard is being developed, as well as the efforts being put in to provide the highest quality data in a water rating. He walks us through the process of a HERSH2O® rating demonstrating how it easily “tacks on” to a Home Energy Rating Score (HERS). Ryan points out that some aspects of the program were built upon the U.S. EPA Water Sense program.
