EPS is a tool to assess a home’s energy cost and carbon footprint.
EPSTM is an energy performance score that measures and rates the net energy consumptions and carbon footprint of a newly constructed home. The lower the score, the better — a low EPS identifies a home as energy efficient with a smaller carbon footprint and lower energy costs.
