Each month, the new RESNET consumer website, RESNET HERS® Index highlights a Builder of the Month that has its homes HERS® Rated. The August RESNET Builder of the Month is Imery Group. Imery Group is a leading custom home builder in Atlanta and Athens for eco-friendly new home construction, renovations, and energy checkups. Its mission is to develop land and living spaces in a way that creates economic, ecological and social value to all stakeholders Imery Group recently celebrated its 10th anniversary and became a Certified B Corporation. The August Builder of the Month profile features includes a selection of photos of Imery Group’s HERS® Rated homes and an interview with founder Luis Imery. Luis says a HERS® Rating helps them set a baseline for their homes. They emphasize how important it is that a certified home requires a third party – a HERS® Rater, to conduct a site visit during construction and at the final phase. “This means an additional layer of quality assurance beyond our internal processes. The end result is our client is getting a home that not only looks beautiful but has strong bones, and is 3rd party verified.” “Once our customers understand how it works, they become our best advocates. Once we start peeling the onion of what a high-performance home is, and the ways we measure that whether through a HERS® rating and 3rd party green building certification, they become big fans of the process.” For Luis Imery, instead of asking why Imery Group builds HERS® Rated homes, he asks, “why would any builder NOT have a home HERS® rated. A HERS® Rated home brings validity to our quality brand. We are not only just saying we deliver healthy, durable, efficient, and comfortable homes with one of a kind warranty, but they are verified.” To view the feature, go to https://www.hersindex.com/articles/builder-of-the-month-imery-group/
