Increased efficiency
HERS stands for Home Energy Rating System. It's a standardized system used to measure a home's energy efficiency. A lower HERS score indicates a more energy-efficient home. HERS is like a home's MPG label. A lower HERS score means lower energy bills and a smaller environmental footprint. Our average gross HERS score in 2024 was 42. To confirm our position as the #1 energy efficient homebuilder in the US, we looked at the publicly reported average HERS scores during June 2025 for each of the top 30 homebuilders in the US (based on how many houses they sold in 2024) as determined by Builder Magazine's list https://www.builderonline.com/builder-100/builder-100-list/2025/ accessed on June 6, 2025. Beazer Homes reports our average gross HERS score i.e. without including solar power savings. We don't know for sure if the other builders report their energy efficiency scores (HERS scores) with or without including solar power savings.

More energy savings
Based on actual FY 24 data our homes scored an average HERS 41 which is 44% more efficient than the weighted national HERS 73 code equivalent based on “Analysis of HERS Index Scores for Recent Versions of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)” by Philip Fairey revised February 21, 2013 and indexed as FSEC-CR-1941-13_R01 available at http://www.fsec.ucf.edu/en/publications/pdf/fsec-cr-1941-13_r01.pdf
