Given the cost of energy in today’s market, Delaware new home buyers are becoming increasingly educated as they make decisions about purchasing a Delaware beach home.

Capstone Homes of Delaware, therefore, has committed to advertise the HERS rating of all of their new homes built at the Delaware beaches.
The HERS rating system is a numerical score of the energy efficiency of a home. The scoring system was developed by ResNET, a non-profit agency dedicated to energy efficient new homes. A HERS rating is just one of the ways that Delaware new home buyers can compare new homes.

The HERS rating on all Capstone Homes shows that Capstone Homes continues to be the intelligent choice for Delaware beach homes.

The HERS rating system is more informative than Energy Star because it gives more detail. A new home can be Energy Star rated- which means that it meets the minimum qualifications for an Energy Star rating, but all Capstone Homes are built to an energy standard that is much higher than Energy Star. The HERS rating system is something that will give a customer far more information regarding the features of a new home. For example, a typical Energy Star rated home built in 2011 will have a HERS score of 85. The average of the Capstone Homes built in 2011 had a HERS score of 59. This tells our buyer that a Capstone Home exceeds Energy Star- by a substantial margin.

Capstone Homes is just the second Delaware builder to commit to the HERS rating. For more information about HERS, click HERE
