What is a Home Energy Score?
The Department of Energy’s Home Energy Score provides homeowners with a simplified scoring process that can be used to directly compare the energy usage of properties across all housing markets. Home Energy Score is designed to standardize the residential energy assessment process and help homeowners compare their energy usage to other homes in the area. Home buyers and sellers can use Home Energy Score to help determine the operating costs and true value of properties on the market.

The Energize Delaware and Franklin Energy teams would like to recognize Shane Fair with Comfort & Energy Solutions LLC for his efforts in being the first Delaware HPwES contractor to earn the Home Energy Score Certified Assessor designation. Each comprehensive assessment report that Shane provides his HPwES customers now includes their official Home Energy Score and their projected post-improvement score based on Shane’s energy-saving improvement package!
