COMMERCIAL HERS TESTING

Home Energy Rating Systems is the main method implemented by the California Energy Commission to ensure that new commercial buildings or tenant improvements are in fact as efficient as they are intended to be. 

 

As HERS raters we use the most advanced equipment to test and verify the specifications of HVAC systems, Insulation materials, and domestic hot water systems. This process ensures the building owner or occupant receives the highest rate of return on their investment possible.
