Across the nation the RESNET HERS® Index Score is fast becoming a mainstream in the housing market. Homebuilders are having their homes energy rated and are marketing the HERS® Index Score of their homes. Multiple Listing Services (MLS) are incorporating the HERS® Index Scores in their listings and code jurisdictions are recognizing a HERS® Index Score as a building energy code compliance option. The next effort is for RESNET to begin educating consumers on the HERS® Index hence creating a market demand. As the first step in this effort, RESNET has produced a short video that explains what the HERS® Index is to consumers. RESNET will be undertaking a social media effort to consumers using the video as a foundation. This effort will be supported with the Google Grant that RESNET has received. Certified HERS® Raters and Energy Smart Builders are encouraged to link the video to their web sites. To view the video go to RESNET HERS® Index
