The Home Energy Score (HES) is a DOE-developed rating system that provides a report of a home’s energy usage, utility bills, and custom recommendations to improve energy efficiency and encourage electrification. The Home Energy Score is used around the country to advance local climate action goals, helping residents improve their homes’ energy efficiency and lower utility costs. Starting next year, the Bay Area’s Home Energy Score Program­—led by the Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN) and StopWaste—will be expanding statewide. Jurisdictions across California will have access to energy assessor training, customized report recommendations, and rebates for residents. Join this session to learn from those who have implemented local HES programs about how you can take advantage of the HES to meet your jurisdiction’s climate action goals.
