Introducing Product Listings in Ekotrope RATER

Empowering Building Product Manufacturers at the Point of Research & Selection.

A New Era of Visibility for Residential Building Product Manufacturers

Product Listings is the first in Ekotrope’s new suite of marketing and business intelligence solutions, created to help Building Product Manufacturers (BPMs) showcase product features and benefits directly within the Energy Rater’s research and selection workflow.


Why HERS Energy Raters Matter

HERS Energy Raters are the quiet power brokers of residential construction.
They don’t issue POs, but they shape what gets purchased.

Routinely they:

  • Recommend code-compliant products

  • Identify which options qualify for incentives

  • Ensure homes achieve code and HERS performance targets

More frequently than ever, their guidance determines which products and brands make it into homes, and they consult directly with purchasing managers.


What Is Ekotrope RATER?

Ekotrope RATER is the trusted SaaS platform used by over 90% of HERS Energy Raters nationwide.

Within Ekotrope RATER, energy professionals:

  • Model home energy performance

  • Generate HERS Index scores, ENERGY STAR®, ZERH, and compliance reports

  • Compare HVAC, insulation, windows, and ventilation products

  • Advise builders on meeting code and performance goals


Why Product Listings Matter

With Product Listings, your product appears at the exact moment of recommendation — when raters are determining which products to suggest to builders.

This is not advertising; it’s strategic exposure at the point of decision. Raters are unbiased advisors to the builder, but if your product isn’t on their radar during this design process, you’re often out of luck.
