Why Home Energy Scores Matter

Just as lowering automobile emissions required setting a standard (miles-per-gallon rating) so does lowering the energy impact of homes. For over a decade we have been working to increase the adoption of home energy labels. Early on we conducted research in partnership with Energy Trust of Oregon which resulted in the EPS®. That led to us working with the US DOE and their efforts to create a nationwide standard, which is now the Home Energy Score™.

Currently we support Home Energy Score programs in the Oregon, the city of Portland, Missouri, and New York State. Those partnerships include ongoing consultation, energy label design, data management, quality assurance, and training. 

Program Development

For several years we have consulted with state and local agencies across the country on custom Home Energy Score label design, and policy development. Our City HELP™ program is specifically designed to provide support from pilot to mandatory scoring programs, ensuring successful outcomes for your program. We work with states, municipalities, and other national organizations to help them develop policy, create program guidelines, design custom energy reports, and deploy and manage Home Energy Score programs. We are a national DOE Home Energy Score partner, and a qualified Quality Assurance provider.

Data Management

The Green Building Registry® is a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) platform designed specifically to capture Home Energy Score data and provide it to both the public and regional Multiple Listing Services at the time of sale. We also maintain databases and provide analysis on general program data. In early 2023 we are launching our new quality assurance and Home Energy Score implementation management tool, Home Energy Fit™.
