This prestigious award acknowledges our commitment to building energy-efficient homes that are good for the environment and save our customers money on their utility bills.
What is a HERS Rating?
The HERS Index (Home Energy Rating System) provides a standardized way to measure a home’s energy efficiency. A lower HERS score indicates a more energy-efficient home.
Why we build HERS-Rated homes.
At McDonald Construction Partners, we believe in “doing the right thing.” Building HERS-rated homes aligns perfectly with this core value. Here’s why we’re passionate about energy-efficient construction:
- Reduced Environmental Impact
Energy-efficient homes use less energy, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller carbon footprint. - Cost Savings for You
A HERS-rated home operates at a lower cost, saving you money on your monthly energy bills year after year. - Leading the Way in Innovation
We’re constantly pushing boundaries to integrate the latest energy-saving technologies and practices into our homes.
Our dedication to sustainable building goes beyond HERS ratings!

We recently completed Ever Green Cottage, a custom home with a remarkable HERS score of -6, making it a Net Zero Energy home! This means the home produces as much energy as it consumes. - MN Green Path Builder
