Home Energy Rating System (HERS)
The HERS® Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET®) that measures the energy performance of a home, and it used to compare the relative energy efficiency (and in-efficiency) of different homes. The lower your home’s HERS Index, the more energy efficient it is. Homes built in the 1970s would be in the 125-130 range on this scale. A David Weekley EnergySaver home in Minneapolis/St. Paul averages a 55 on the HERS Index!

Third-party Inspections
The more eyes, the better. Outside companies perform unbiased inspections as part of an energy audit on your home. Your wall insulation, thermal envelope and HVAC ductwork are inspected prior to drywall installation and are a part of this audit process. Duct blaster and blower door testing is also done on each and every home.
The duct blaster test is performed on your HVAC’s ductwork to ensure that duct leakage is equal to or less than 3%. A blower door test is done to validate the air tightness of your home meets the stringent requirements of the Environments For Living Energy Efficiency Certification. These are key components in being able to offer the Energy Guarantees for your new home.
