About Our Organization

The Utah Energy Conservation Coalition DBA Energy Rated Homes of Utah (UECC/ERHU) is a statewide nonprofit organization working to encourage Utah citizens to receive an “Energy Education”.  We encourage energy conservation in all areas of the housing industry.

Formed in 1990 we provide energy education and services in areas such as:

  • Residential Blower Door Testing and Air Leaking Diagnosis
  • Residential Energy Audits
  • Home Energy Rating System (HERS Index)
  • Digital Energy Efficiency Resources
    • A wide variety of resources covering all areas of residential energy conservation available  through the UECC/ERHU office

Energy Rated Homes of Utah works with lenders, REALTORS, builders, home buyers, sellers, appraisers, and utilities to promote affordable, energy-efficient housing throughout Utah.  Through our unique membership with the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET), we are the oldest home energy rating program in Utah.  We are members of the EPA ENERGY STAR Homes program and the Home Builder Association (HBA) — Both locally and nationally.

What is an Energy Star Home?

Now in its 25th year of operation, Energy Star labeled homes incorporate energy saving in design and construction.  With the Energy Star label from the US Environmental Protection Agency, homeowners can be assured that their home is truly energy-efficient.

Energy Star labeled homes in Utah have passed stringent energy efficiency guidelines and standards established by the EPA Energy Star Homes program and verified through a network of trained Home Energy Consultants coordinated through our office, Energy Rated Homes of Utah (ERHU).  Energy Star Homebuilders in Utah are committed to building comfortable, high quality, energy efficient homes that enable buyers to get more house for the money, while enhancing the home’s overall value.  They must also meet all the requirements of the EPA’s Thermal Enclosure System and HVAC Installation Checklist.  This third-party energy rating also enables buyers to qualify for an Energy Efficient Mortgage.  So remember, before you buy a new home, make sure it has a 5-Star Energy Star Home rating.
