With an increasing focus on green home building there is also a greater interest in knowing just how energy efficient an already-built home is. The Home Energy Rating System or HERS, is a numerical value for the efficiency of a home. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know it is frequently compared to the MPG or miles per gallon rating you would see when buying a car, except the HERS relates to the efficiency of your home. A HERS score would take into account factors such as the home’s insulation levels, the home’s orientation (with N/S exposure being more efficient), the number and kind of windows, the efficiency of the HVAC unit(s), leaks in the home envelope (your home’s barriers to outside elements), leaks in ducts and electricity generation like solar panels.
