Across the nation there is a trend for code jurisdictions to adopt a HERS® Index Score option to energy codes. To date over 150 local and state code jurisdictions have adopted an energy rating option to their codes. This movement has gained momentum with the International Code Council adopting an Energy Rating Index option in the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code.
