Texas House Bill (HB) 3215 updated the state’s universal energy code compliance pathway to allow builders to use the HERS® Index for energy code compliance across the state, in lieu of the state energy code or any stretch code adopted by municipalities.

This represents a new statewide opportunity for builders and their HERS® Rating partners to comply with the Texas Energy Code using the HERS® Index.

Learn more about it here!

This event brings together leaders in the home building and HERS® Rating industry to network and learn about the benefits of this compliance pathway in Texas, and how it can be scaled nationally. The following leaders will be in attendance:

• Texas Builders
• RESNET HERS® Raters and RFIs
• RESNET providers
• Grassroots advocates
• Code officials
• High-performance building suppliers

There is limited capacity. We will let you know as soon as possible when capacity is reached.
