Home Energy Use
Thisshows the estimated total energy use (electricity and
heating fuel) of your home for one year. The lower the
energy use, the better.

Home Energy Use
This shows the estimated annual carbon emissions
associated with your home and is based on your home's
estimated total annual energy use. The lower the score, the
less carbon pollution is released into the atmosphere.

HERS*Index
RESNET's HERS' Index assesses the energy efficiency of a
22 home. A HERS-100 home is as energy efficient as a home
built to 2006 code. A HERS-0 home uses zero net energy
in a typical year. Learn more at hersindex.com
*These are estimated costs. Actual energy costs may vary and are based on many factors such as occupant behavior, weather and
utility rates.
Please see the next page for more information on how the Home Energy Use and Horne Carbon Footprint are calculated.

More Information
Your Massachusetts Home Energy Scorecard
The Massachusetts Home Energy Scorecard (MA Scorecard) is a tool to assess a home's
expected energy use, cost, and carbon footprint. A low energy use generally means that a
home has a smaller carbon footprint and lower energy costs. The MA Scorecard also allows for
comparisons of one home's energy use and carbon footprint. This is because the energy use
and carbon footprint are calculated without the inf luence of occupant behavi or, which can
vary.
Home Energy Use
The Home Energy Use (HEU) calculation is based on a home's size design, insulation levels, air
leakage, heating and cooling systems, major appliances, lighting, hot water heating, and any
electricity produced by on -site solar PV. The HEU number is "normalized" in the sense that
occupant behavior, which can vary, is taken out of the calculation. A home's actual energy use
will vary with numberof occupants, occupant behavior, weather, and changes to the home.
Useful Terminology
Btu
A Btu, or British Thermal Unit, is a measurement of the heat/energy content of fuel. mmBtu
stands for one million Btus. One Btu V the energy produced by a single wooden match. One
million Btus =the energy produced by 7 gallons of gasoline used in a typical car.
Carbon Footprint
The greenhouse gas emissions associated with a home's energy use impactthe environment.
The Carbon Footprint calculation is based on the carbon emissions for the annual amounts,
types, and sources of fuels used in your home. Measurement is in tons of carbon dioxide per
year (tons/year). One ton = 2,000 miles driven by one car (typical 21 mpg car.). Forelectricity,
carbon emissions are based on electricity consumed onsite and the mix of fuel sources used in
the region to generate that electricity at thetimeof thi s report. For fossil fuel used in heating
and hot water, carbon emissions are based on the therms of natural gas or gallons of oil or
propane used in the home.
Average Home in Your Area
The "Average Home in Your Area" refers to the average energy use or carbon footprint of all
the homes in Massachusetts before implementation of any energy improvements. The
average may vary slightly over time as homes become more efficient due to improvements.

What is HERS?
The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the industry standard by which a home's
energy efficiency is measured and compared with other homes.The lower the scare, the
more energy efficient the home.
An energy rating has been completed for this home by a certified HERS Rater who did
multiple, rigorous inspections and performance tests.They collected hundreds of data
points and input them into Ekotrope RATER software, which performs a year -long hourly
energy simulation to estimate how much energy the home will consume.TheHERS rater is
not affiliated with the builder and their work is reviewed by third party.
