HOUSERATER WEB

Track projects & progress

Centralized Hub

HouseRater Web is the central hub of all your project data. Users can access stored site visits, photos, and data points from any internet-connected device or location with an internet connection. HouseRater Web works in real time with HouseRater Mobile’s auto data-sync feature, so your office staff has data from field inspectors immediately after synchronizing.

Generates accurate modeling results

HouseRater Web generates it’s modeling results through NREL’s OpenStudio-ERI, which utilizes the industry-leading U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) NREL EnergyPlus™ modeling engine. And HouseRater’s modeling experts can quickly create customized reference homes for utility programs or jurisdictions with modified energy codes.

HouseRater merges seamlessly and is the required inspection/modeling software for ENERGY STAR and Zero Energy Ready Homes (ZERH) verification through any HCO. HouseRater Web also supports legacy energy modeling engines such as Ekotrope and REM/Rate with an XML file exchange process that cuts data entry by 90% vs. using modeling software alone.
