Building a new house? Remodeling an old one? Sustainably Built helps homeowners, builders, and architects make informed decisions about energy efficiency, renewable energy, durable materials, and indoor air quality. Through advanced computer modeling, we predict your energy bills and help you choose materials, and cost-effective design and construction methods, to reduce those bills or eliminate them entirely. We can even help you determine the most cost-effective ways to build a net-zero energy home.

Sustainably Built can also provide a RESNET Accredited Home Energy Rating (HERS). HERS ratings are required by law in some municipalities, and are important components of receiving LEED for Homes or Energy Star certification. A HERS rating is also essential for receiving the $2000 Federal Energy Efficiency Tax Credit for new construction. In addition, Sustainably Built is an accredited LEED for Homes rater, and can guide you through the entire process and verify the credits necessary for certification.
