2 Energy Rating Index (R406) NEW Prescriptive Prescriptive Simulated Performance Energy Rating Index R-Value (No Tradeoffs) U-Factor (component tradeoffs) Total UA (tradeoffs between components) Simulated Performance Approach R405 ERI Compliance Alternative R406 2
3 Energy Rating Index (ERI)(R406) Completed by an approved third party with documentation, including compliance reports, that must be reviewed by the code official. It makes sense that ERI Raters become ICC certified as Residential Energy Inspectors
4 RESNET and ICC have a partnership to advance and coordinate the use of the ERI as a code compliance path. 4

17 Energy Rating Index (ERI)(R406) 100 equates to the levels prescribed in the 2006 IECC Zero is equivalent to a net-zero-energy home RESNET s Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Rating System Only Current Option House must also meet the minimum envelope requirements of the 2009 IECC and all of the mandatory code provisions. 17
18 How Does HERS Index Work? Reference Building is given an Index of 100 A 1% improvement in building energy performance results in a one index point reduction For Example: Index of 120 means the building uses 20% more energy than the Reference Building Index of 50 means the building uses half the energy of the Reference Building Index of zero means the building produces exactly as much energy as it uses. 18
19 Renewables in the ERI Compliance Path Renewable Energy May Now Be Included Without renewables backstop is 2009 IECC for thermal envelope. With renewables backstop is 2015 IECC for thermal envelope. 19
20 HERS Rating Index Standard Assumptions Impact of Occupant Behavior Thermostat Set Points Hot Water Temperature and Usage Interior Window Shading Standard assumptions are used for these factors when the HERS Index is calculated. 20
21 Energy Rating Index (ERI)(R406) NEW ANSI/RESNET/ICC Basis of ERI approach 21
22 Two Types of Ratings Projected Ratings Ratings performed prior to the construction (from plans) of a home or prior to the installation of energy improvements to an existing home (site inspection). Confirmed Ratings Ratings completed using data gathered from an on-site inspection, which usually includes performance testing of the home. For Code Compliance 22
