Passive House

Passive Houses and Passive Buildings use very little energy and provide superior comfort by incorporating very tight air barriers, superinsulation, high performance glazing, heat recovery ventilation, and other features.  CET can help you determine if Passive House certification is a realistic target for your project and then help you navigate the certification process from start to finish.

HERS

The Home Energy Rating Systems (HERS) is used for code compliance, rebates, and as a prerequisite for other certifications like ENERGY STAR, Indoor Air Plus, and Zero Energy Ready.  It can be used for new construction, renovations, and additions for residential buildings of all sizes.  CET can help you create a specific plan for achieving any HERS index cost-effectively.

LEED/LEED Certifiable

LEED for Homes and LEED for Multifamily ratings systems score the environmental sustainability features of residential buildings, including location, water efficiency, energy performance, use of materials, and indoor environmental quality.  CET can help you identify credits that are a good fit for your project goals to achieve LEED Silver, Gold, or Platinum.

ENERGY STAR®

ENERGY STAR new homes and multifamily buildings are 20% more efficient than standard new buildings, and they include common-sense features to ensure good air quality, durability, and comfort.  CET can work with you during the design and construction stages to incorporate all ENERGY STAR features into your building and ensure a smooth and successful inspection and testing process.
