[Greenbuilding] Home energy use rating systems

[Michael O'Brien]

Hi, Kat--

Unless it has morphed, the Energy Performance Score is a way to synthesize all of a home's energy features into a simple-to-compare number, to guide home purchase and financing decisions. It does not measure actual energy use.

Best,

Mike
