For Buyers: Vocabulary: Green Home Terms

Whether you’re building the home of your dreams or looking for an existing unit, there’s a lot of data involved in finding the right environmentally friendly dwelling. Here’s a breakdown of the different certification systems for energy-efficient homes.

my-san-antonio-home-resource
RESNET

The Residential Energy Services Network is a not-for-profit corporation that develops industry-wide standards and rules for energy efficiency ratings and certification systems for buildings. In addition to overseeing the HERS index (see below), RESNET certifies contractors of all types, including builders, roofing and siding professionals, and remodeling contractors.

HERS index

The Home Energy Rating System is an index measuring a home’s energy efficiency. An average home built to current industry standards for energy efficiency will have an index of 100. A lower score indicates higher levels of efficiency (for example, a home with a score of 70 is using 30 percent less energy than the average home). The opposite is true with homes that score higher than 100. This index is overseen by RESNET.

LEED

The United States Green Building Council is the agency that bestows Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certifications on environmentally friendly buildings and projects. The highest certification a building can earn is “LEED platinum.” Projects earn points based on numerous categories such as indoor air quality and water efficiency. More points add up to a higher certification level.

Energy Star

The Energy Star program is overseen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Products such as refrigerators, light bulbs, and furnaces can earn Energy Star certifications. Separately, homes can be Energy Star–certified through an independent inspection.

Indoor airPLUS:

This program is also administered by the EPA. Homes that go above and beyond the Energy Star requirements by incorporating additional features to combat moisture, mold, pests, and pollutants can earn this label.

National Green Building Certification

Overseen by the National Association of Home Builders, this program helps residential building professionals develop and build sustainable projects. Buildings can earn bronze, silver, gold, or emerald certifications. At the Emerald level — which is the highest certification a project can earn — a building “must incorporate energy savings of 60 percent or more.”

For Sellers: How To Hire a Remodeling Contractor

my-san-antonio-home-resource
Shop around for the right company.
  • Get at least three written estimates.
  • Ask for and check references. If possible, look at jobs the contractor recently completed.
  • Check with your local chamber of commerce or Better Business Bureau for complaints.
  • Be sure that the contractor has the necessary licenses and insurance, as well as the ability to obtain permits.
  • Ask if the contractor’s workers will do the entire job or whether subcontractors will be involved.
http://www.mysahomeresource.idxbroker.com/idx/homevaluation
Read the contract carefully.
  • Be sure the contract states exactly what is to be done and how change orders will be handled.
  • Check that the contract states when the work will be completed and what recourse you have if it isn’t.
  • Make sure the contract indemnifies you if work does not meet building codes or regulations.
  • Be sure that the contract specifies who will clean up after the job and be responsible for any damage.
  • Ensure that the materials meet your specifications.
Seal the deal.
  • Remember that you can often cancel a contract within three business days of signing it.
  • Make a small down payment so you won’t lose much if the contractor fails to complete the job.
Don’t make the final payment until you’re satisfied with the work.
