EPA has announced that effective on January 1, 2025, sampling of single-family homes for labeling of ENERGY STAR homes will no longer be permitted. RESNET’s survey of members and industry determined that the industry believes that HERS® Index rating requirements should be maintained consistent with the ENERGY STAR program policy and that sampling of single-family homes should not be allowed effective January 1, 2025. The RESNET MINHERS Standards have been amended to sunset sampling for single-family homes at the same time EPA’s policy change takes effect. On May 16, RESNET hosted a webinar to discuss this change with Standard Development Committee 900 Vice Chair Emelie Cuppernell-Glitch and Paul Gay, who oversaw the section addendum, and RESNET staff Scott Doyle and Laurel Elam.
