HERS Verification Title 24, part 6
What is it: HERS stands for Home Energy Rating System. This process is a field verification and diagnostic testing service developed to
show compliance with the “California Building Energy Standards”.
Why it's important: A study conducted by National Comfort Institute shows that the average HVAC system is only performing at 58% efficiency. Don’t get lumped in with the national average. Prove the high quality and performance of your work with diagnostic testing.
Blower Door Testing - part of the HERS verification - requires the pressurization of the entire body of the house to see how much leaks out at a given pressure.

Blower Door Testing
In some new homes, a Blower Door credit can be used to help meet the energy budget and comply with Title 24 calculations. This HERS verification requires the pressurization of the entire body of the house to see how much leaks out at a given pressure.
A leaky house will not only waste heating and cooling dollars, it will allow a pathway into the house for all of the things we want to keep out: Heat, Humidity, Dust, Dirt & Contaminants
