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.

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.
