A Home Energy Score rates energy efficiency on a scale of 1 – 10, with 10 indicating the most efficient homes. Like a vehicle’s miles-per-gallon rating, Home Energy Score uses about 50 different data inputs, like insulation levels and window characteristics, to estimate how much energy a home is expected to use.
The Home Energy Score also generates recommendations for cost-effective improvements and associated annual cost savings estimates, as well as a "Score with Improvements," reflecting the home’s expected score if all the recommended improvements are implemented.
