HERS Raters and HERS Rating Providers are governed by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET). RESNET was established in 1995 as a non-profit organization by the National Association of State Energy Officials and Energy Rated Homes of America. Their mission was to improve the energy efficiency of the nation’s housing stock and to qualify more families for home ownership by expanding the availability of mortgage financing options and home energy ratings.
