The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the INDUSTRY STANDARD by which a home’s energy efficiency is measured. It’s also the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance.

Sill seal installed below exterior wall plates provides a thermal break and reduces air penetration.

Foam seals lock in heating and air conditioning saving homeowners energy.

Window tape seals all windows & doors saving energy by reducing your home’s heating & cooling bills.

Low-E windows reduce energy costs by both insulating and reflecting heat back to it’s source, reducing energy bills up to 15%. In addition, all window & door penetrations are insulated with water resistant foam sealant.

Homes weatherized with house wrap keep heating and cooling costs down by controlling air and moisture movement through exterior walls and increases your home’s R Value.

Vented roof soffits maintain ideal attic ventilation helping to control energy costs.

Our homes use engineered roof & floor systems designed to be strong and cost effective. By minimizing material waste, this reduces the material costs, which we pass on to you.

Each Logan Home’s HVAC system is engineered, inspected & certified to ensure optimum energy efficiency.

Flexible ductwork requires less joints and has less potential for energy leaks. Ductwork is then sealed at all necessary locations which significantly reduces the loss of costly conditioned air.

Programmable thermostat to control energy costs and maintain ideal indoor air temperature.

Each Logan Home includes carbon monoxide detectors helping to maintain interior air quality.

PEX plumbing systems have achieved a higher R value than other plumbing systems by maintaining water temperature and conserving energy. PEX proudly uses mechanical fittings that require no solvents or chemicals. And, no flame or solder are required resulting in zero VOC emissions.

Use up to 75% less energy and last up to 10 times longer than traditional light bulbs.

Our standard appliance packages are Energy Star rated, and meet or exceed energy efficient standards.

Each landscape package is designed with native plant species that require less water to maintain.

All Logan Homes are equipped with a rain sensor to control irrigation costs & conserve resources & energy.

THE HERS INDEX

On the HERS (Home Energy Rating System) Index a building is scored from zero to one hundred-fifty, where each point equals a 1% increase in energy consumption. So, a home with an excellent HERS Index of 50 uses half the energy of a home that scores an Index of 100, the current industry standard. Existing homes typically score about 130. A Logan smart home averages between 65-75.

These ratings can tell you how efficiently your home is operating and where you can make changes for greater energy savings. When you’re selling your home, a low HERS rating can be attractive to buyers. When you’re building a home you can anticipate the costs of energy bills and opportunities for savings.

Insulate the perimeter of the foundation with R-10 rigid foam insulation, to increase comfort by greatly reducing the thermal bridge through the foundation and slab to the exterior.

Increase thermal efficiency of exterior wall insulation from R-15 to 21 in 2x4 walls and from R-19 to 21 in 2x6 walls.

Increase the insulating value beyond the standard R-38 with sprayed foam insulation to seal and condition your attic space.

Reflect the sun’s energy away from the roof for cooler attic spaces, reducing cooling load on home.

Tankless gas water heaters only produce hot water when needed. This reduces the amount of stand-by energy used, so these heaters can be 24 - 34% more efficient compared to storage water heaters.

Wrap the hot water supply lines with foam R-2.3 insulation reducing stand-by energy loss.

Conserve water in the wait for hot. A recirculating line ensures hot water will be readily available no matter how far you are from the hot water heater. Includes a timer to limit stand-by heat loss.

Upgrade the Heating & Cooling System to a 16 SEER efficiency rating, increasing comfort while saving money.

Indoor Air Quality-CVACs typically exhaust outside the home preventing recirculation of fine dust and allergens.

Programmable, learning thermostat that is able to be controlled remotely using tablet or smart phone, price per location.

HERS ratings are unique. Two identical homes can have different HERS scores for various reasons—the home’s placement on the homesite, or available sun and shade for example. It is for this reason, the HERS rating cannot be guaranteed but it can give homeowners a good idea of the type of performance they can expect from their home.
