Abstract
Energy ratings and scores for homes attempt to give homeowners a understandable metric to compare the energy efficiency of homes. Two rating systems in the marketplace include RESNET's Home Energy Rating System (HERS) and DOE's Home Energy Score (HEScore) and include differing energy calculation methodologies. This report compares the energy predictions from both REM/Rate and Home Energy Score for populations of real homes in three climates and determines some features of homes that lead to the greatest differences between energy predictions.
