13-035 (3) ENERGY EFFICIENCY PLAN
2. Preliminary Home Energy Rating Results
Based on the assumptions described above, we have calculated the following Preliminary Home Energy Rating results.
Preliminary HERS Index:57
Preliminary Improvement Over 2012-2013 v2 Massachusetts Reference Home:32.2%
ENERGY STAR HERS Index Target: N/A
Note that Confirmed Home Energy Rating results may vary from the Preliminary Home Energy Rating results due to
changes in building plans, energy features installed in the home, RESNET standards, software changes, and other
factors.

1. Assumptions for Preliminary Home Energy Rating
CET has completed a Preliminary Home Energy Rating with the following assumptions:
a) The construction plans you have provided are accurate, including window dimensions and locations.
b) Energy features not listed below in part c will meet the prescriptive requirements of the IECC 2009.
c) The home will be built to incorporate the following energy features:
BUi[dingnvelol�e Specifications Used in Analysis
Basement Condition Over Unconditioned Garage
Foundation Wall Insulation Type= N/A R-Value= N/A
Garage Ceiling Insulation Type= 14" Dense-Pack Cellulose R-Value=49
Above Grade &Walkout Walls Insulation Type = Dense-Pack Cellulose R-Value= 19.3 Grade=2
Windows U-value = .26- .28 SHGC = .26- .28
Exterior Doors R =5.0
Ceilings Insulation Type = 18"Cellulose (flats), 15"Cellulose +2"

2" x 4" wood studs 24" on center with sis" Type X gypsum wallboard applied
vertically or horizontally nailed with 6d cooler or wallboard nails at 7" on center
with end joints on nailing members. Stagger joints each side.
Garage Ceiling, 21-1.1
Base layer 518" Type X gypsum wallboard applied at right angles to joist or
truss 24" o.c. with 1 1/4"
Type S or Type W drywall screws 24" o.c. Face layer 5/8" Type X gypsum
wallboard or veneer base applied at right angles to joist or truss through base
layer with 1 718" Type S or Type W drywall screws 12" o.c. at joints and
intermediate joist or truss. Face layer Type G drywall screws placed 2" back
