HERS INDEX Rating

Hagood homes are designed to improve energy efficiency. According to the nationally recognized Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index , our homes are 35% more efficient than the average new home built in the United States.

The HERS Index is the industry standard for measuring a home’s energy efficiency. Important factors considered in an energy rating include windows & doors, ceilings & roofs, attics & crawl spaces vents & ductwork, HVAC systems, water heating system, and your thermostat.

ecoSelect Certified Homes

Many of our homes are ecoSelect certified. This designation reassures homeowners that the home they are buying is energy efficient, as well as more comfortable and healthier than standard code-built homes on the market.

To qualify for ecoSelect certification, builders must go beyond minimum design standards, resulting in better indoor air quality and energy efficiency throughout the home. Prospective buyers will receive a copy of the home’s energy report for verification.
