About AREVS:

AREVS: American Residential Energy Verification System develops software applications and data sets for the Home Performance, Real Estate, and Energy industries.

Our newest product, the AREVS Home Energy Performance Calculator, correlates performance based and asset evaluation data to accurately measure the energy efficiency and heating costs of existing homes. Three efficiency ratings give a complete performance picture: the AREVS Energy Rating Number (based on actual fuel/energy usage), an estimated HERS index number (the leading asset based energy assessment method), and the Composite AREVS Alpha Score, an easy to understand A-F grade. Accurate projection of annual heating, domestic hot water heating, and air conditioning costs can also be obtained by entering the HERS index number of any new home.

The AREVS HEP Calculator gives energy auditors, certified home performance contractors, and licensed home inspectors a fast, accurate, affordable tool for assessing home energy performance. Real estate professionals and mortgage brokers can use the AREVS Calculator to estimate true home ownership costs (the PITE payment). For government and nonprofit professionals, the AREVS Calculator provides home performance data for quality assurance and program evaluation.
