Setting the standard in the building industry through cutting edge research.
In a separate report, Home Innovation Research Labs reported the predicted HERS indices for over 300 typical house configurations simulated to meet the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) minimum requirements for both federal minimum and high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment.
In order to identify the energy conservation opportunities associated with high-efficiency lights, appliances and balanced mechanical ventilation, modifications were made to a subset of the modeled configurations from that report: Medium Standard Rated Homes on slab basements in Climate Zones 1, 4 and 7.
