How To Submit a HERS Rating

First of all, please download the IAERHPP HERS Rating procedure packet HERE.

ENERGY STAR or HERS Rating processing (which includes the Tax Credit) is $50 per submission; Tax Credit alone is $10.

When submitting a Rating for processing by the IAER, please send all ratings to:

email address: ratings at ilenergyraters.org

Please name your files correctly and identically:

Your Company - Builder Name - Rated Home Address (followed by .blg, .doc, .pdf, etc)

EXAMPLE: EnergyConsultants-SmithBuilders-777_Ridge_Rd_Springfield_IL

Please attach the following files to your message:

.BLG file (REM/Rate) - make sure all checklists are complete inside software

Photos of the Rated Home (click here to download photo form)

Manual J/D calc report (for ENERGY STAR only)

Copies of your completed Inspection Checklists (for ENERGY STAR only)

You will receive a return message within 1-2 weeks

Your .BLG file name will now have either 'QA' or 'FIX' at the front, and the QAD's initials and date of QA attached to the end.

EXAMPLE: FIX-ab1001-SmithBuilders-777_Ridge_Rd_Springfield_IL-CL06012011

 

Resubmit the Fixed File

There will be notes in the 'Notes' window inside REM.  Please do not remove the QAD's notes, simply respond to each by typing underneath, and fix any inconsistencies in the building file.  Please do not remove the QA initials or date at the end of the file name.  Simply add your own initials and the date you revised the file to the end, and change the word "FIX" to "FIXED".  Then resubmit the renamed file.  We realize this makes for long file names, but it makes it much easier to archive and report all the data to the EPA and our partner organizations.  Thanks!
