did, modeling needed to be done using software approved by HERS (Home Energy
Rating System). There are a few software packages available. In
general, they are pretty simple, and difficult to get unless you are a HERS
rater. For LEED for Homes, LEED kind of tacked onto the HERS program for
the energy portion. Is there a reason you're using LEED for Homes instead
of LEED for Neighborhood Development or LEED
