1. Assumptions for Preliminary Home Energy Rating
CET has completed a Preliminary Home Energy Rating with the following assumptions:
a) The construction plans you have provided are accurate, including window dimensions and locations.
b) Energy features not listed below in part c will meet the prescriptive requirements of the IECC 2009.
c) The home will be built to incorporate the following energy features:
Building Envelope Specifications Used in Analysis
Slab Floor Uninsulated Concrete
Foundation Walls Uninsulated Concrete in Unconditioned Basement,
2” Interior Dow Thermax in Conditioned Basement
Floor over Unconditioned Basement R-30 Fiberglass Batts, Grade 3
Rim/Band Joists R-21 Fiberglass Batt, Grade 3
Exterior Walls, including to garage,
basement, & attics
R-21 Fiberglass Batt, Grade 2, sealed air barrier both sides and
continuous top plates/blocking
Windows & Glass Doors U-value = 0.30 SHGC = 0.27
Exterior Doors R-5 / U-0.20
Ceilings & Attic Hatches Flat & Cathedral: 13” loose-blown Fiberglass (R-38)
Hatches: R-10+ Foamboard, fully gasketed
Blower Door Test* 3.5 ACH50 or better*
Thermal Enclosure Checklist, sections 3+5 Meet all Checklist Requirements as verified by a HERS rater at pre-
drywall and final inspection
* The 2009 IECC requires a blower door test result of 7 ACH50 or lower and the IECC 2012 requires 3 ACH50 or lower.

2. Preliminary Home Energy Rating Results
Based on the assumptions described above, we have calculated the following Preliminary Home Energy Rating results.
Preliminary HERS Index: 66
Preliminary Improvement Over 2014 Mass. Reference Home v2: 18.5% - Tier I*
Note that Confirmed Home Energy Rating results may vary from the Preliminary Home Energy Rating results due to
changes in building plans, energy features installed in the home, RESNET standards, software changes, and other
factors.
3. Services Requested
CET will provide a Confirmed Home Energy Rating for the purpose(s) indicated below. CET will charge fees for these
activities based on your Home Energy Rating Services Agreement.
• Stretch Energy Code compliance
• Incentives for the Mass Save Residential New Construction program – Tier I*
* = Mass Save Residential New Construction requirements and incentive amounts can change at any time without
notice at the discretion of program sponsors. We anticipate, but do not guarantee, that current program requirements
and incentive amounts will apply to this project as long as it is completed and inspected by November 30, 2016.
As part of these services, CET will verify that your home meets all the requirements of these programs.
