The Impact of Thermocore SIPs on Your Home's HERS Index Score

If you're in the market for a new home, energy efficiency is likely high on your list of priorities. The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index provides a tangible way to measure the energy and cost savings associated with your home.

A recent visual representation by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET), the organization behind the HERS Index, illustrates the spectrum of possibilities. A home constructed to meet the 2004 International Energy Conservation Code receives a HERS rating of 100. Homes that achieve a HERS score of 70 are deemed 30% more energy-efficient than this reference home. Impressive, right? But why settle there? The lower the HERS score, the greater the energy and cost savings. Homes built using Thermocore Structural Insulated Panels typically score in the low 30s on the HERS Index!

Residential homes in the U.S. account for 16% of the greenhouse gasses produced in the country. By opting for Thermocore SIPs in your home construction, you not only contribute to global environmental conservation but also see significant savings in your pocket.
