Many builders say they are “green”, but what does that mean? Imagine Homes’ high performance green system achieves third-party certification for every home through the Build San Antonio Green and Energy Star programs. Plus our homes now exceed the
U.S. Department of Energy’s Builders Challenge target for homes at least 30% more energy-efficient than the standard code built home based on the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) index.
The HERS index is established by the
Residential Energy Services Network and allows a relative energy use comparison between multiple homes. A lower score indicates a more energy-efficient home with every point lower equaling 1% less energy use. Homes built in compliance with the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code score a HERS index of 100 and the typical 10 year old home scores 130 meaning it uses 30% more energy than today’s code built home. Energy Star qualified homes have a maximum index of 85 and Builder’s Challenge qualified homes have a maximum index of 70.

Third party inspections, duct blaster and blower door performance testing are performed on every home to verify the high performance specifications for each home are executed as planned.
The HPG Home integrates the various systems in the home to save energy, conserve water and provide healthy air, but the bottom line is you win by saving money on utility bills every month while enjoying a comfortable home with enhanced indoor air quality.
