The Builder’s Challenge is based on HERS ratings – a projected and verified standard for energy efficiency. The Challenge requires that homes achieve a score of HERS 70 or below. As Colorado’s leading green home builder, our homes regularly score HERS 20 or below on all new homes, and in two homes have verified performance of HERS -3.
