HouseRater sits within a structured system layer between modeling tools and validation systems, standardizing how energy rating work moves from execution through validation to submission
HERS rating software that standardizes energy rating calculations, execution, and QA compliance workflow
CORE LAYERS
EXECUTION LAYER
Standardizes how raters execute structured work across projects, reducing variation in output
VALIDATION LAYER
Continuously evaluates execution to identify issues before submission, ensuring consistent outputs across systems
COMPLIANCE LAYER
Structures outputs into audit ready formats aligned with program and utility requirements
HOW IT OPERATES
HouseRater operates as a structured system layer that adapts across different program environments without requiring changes to existing tools or workflows
It standardizes execution and validation across modeling tools and workflows
Native Execution
Work is completed directly within HouseRater using a structured execution system that guides execution from setup through submission
Integrated Workflow
HouseRater standardizes outputs across existing modeling tools, ensuring consistent validation and compliance
HouseRater was built inside real-world building science and energy rating operations
It is shaped by practitioners who actively work as raters, providers, and program implementers across RESNET and utility environments
​
HouseRater operates across existing modeling environments including Ekotrope and REM/Rate
It standardizes outputs rather than replacing existing systems
THE WORKFLOW
-
Project creation or import
-
Structured workflow execution
-
Continuous QA validation
-
Provider-ready output
INTEGRATION
HouseRater can work as a stand alone tool for energy modeling calculations, or can work alongside existing modeling environments.
WHY IT MATTERS
Organizations don’t struggle with modeling—they struggle with workflow consistency, QA overload, and fragmented processes.
