Southface Energy Rated Homes

Southface Energy Rated Homes (SERH) is a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) provider that certifies HERS raters and their ratings according to the national standards set by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET).

The system was established primarily to provide builders and renovators in the EarthCraft House program easier access to consistently accurate HERS ratings, but the system is not restricted to the EarthCraft House program.

In order to become a certified HERS rater with SERH, an individual must meet strict standards including comprehensive training, performance-based tests, and written tests. To apply to become a SERH Certified Rater contact ratings@southface.org
