[quote=Anonymous]What exactly are you trying to aim for? There is a balance between the upfront costs of making a more efficient home versus the longer term savings in energy costs. For reference, we built our home but I didn't even think about aiming for a HERS rating, nor was it something that came up in interviewing multiple builders. I have a feeling that any builder you find that will meet your criteria is also likely going to be on the more expensive side. Thus, spending x amount more to achieve an efficient home may only result in a small savings in energy costs. If cost savings is not your goal and just being environmentally friendly is it, then ignore all of this. [/quote]
