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:
Building Envelope Specifications Used in Analysis
Basement Condition Exterior walls insulated, mostly finished
Foundation Wall Insulation Type = Rigid Foam + Fiberglass R-Value= 10 + 13
Slab Edge Insulation Type = Rigid Foam R-Value= 10
Rim & Band Joist Insulation Type = Fiberglass R-Value= 21
Above Grade & Walkout Walls Insulation Type = Interior Rigid Foam Board + Batts R-Value= 15.5 +
21 Grade=2
Windows U-value = .30 SHGC = .31 predominant
Glass Doors U-value = .30 SHGC = .24 predominant
Skylights U-value = .45 SHGC = .26
Exterior Doors Solid wood front entry door, basement storage door = R-13
Ceilings Insulation Type = triple-crossed fiberglass batts predominant; R-Value=
63
Blower Door Test* 2.0 ACH50 or better*
Thermal Enclosure Checklist Sections 3 5 Meet ALL Checklist Requirements as verified by a HERS rater at pre-
drywall and final inspection
* The 2009 IECC requires a blower door test result of 7 ACH50 or lower. The number listed here requires significant improvements
in air sealing beyond the base energy code.
Mechanical Systems Specifications Used in Analysis
Heating Equipment Type: Propane-Fired Boiler Efficiency: 95 AFUE
Cooling Equipment Type: N/A Efficiency: N/A
Water Heating Equipment Type: On-Demand Propane Efficiency: 95%
Duct Leakage N/A or less leakage to the outside at final inspection
Whole House Ventilation (ASHRAE 62.2) 61+ CFM, 12 watt exhaust-only bath fan with 24 hr programmable timer
+/or fan speed controls
Lighting & Appliances Specifications Used in Analysis
Lighting 100% or more compact fluorescent bulbs or LEDs
Refrigerator Energy Star certified
Dishwasher Energy Star certified
Washer Energy Star certified

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: 42
Preliminary Improvement Over 2012-2013 v2 Massachusetts Reference Home: 45.3%
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.
