Experience

Founded in 2001, Southern Energy Management has helped builders construct, market, and sell healthier, greener, high-performance homes for nearly 20 years.

Code Testing

SC Energy Codes require that all new homes meet certain performance benchmarks for duct leakage and blower door testing. We work with builders across the Carolinas to make code compliance less of a hassle. Our teams are on-time, responsive, and are well versed in knowing what’s needed to get the job done right, all while keeping your project timeline a top priority.

HERS Ratings

Commonly referred to as the “MPG” of a home, the RESNET HERS Index is the industry standard by which a home’s energy efficiency is measured. Our certified HERS Raters can measure the energy efficiency of your new construction homes so you can communicate potential energy savings and benefits to your buyers!

Green Certifications

We work in a variety of national green building and energy efficiency programs.  Let us help you navigate the maze of programs available, ensuring your projects achieve successful verification and certification. Regardless of whether you’re a green building novice or aiming to build a Zero Energy home, we lay out a clear roadmap and partner with you every step of the way.

Tax and Utility Incentives

Often there are local, state or federal incentives in place to incentivize builders to build high-performance homes. We’ll help you capture all of the available incentives.

Sales and Marketing Support

There’s no doubt that new homes with energy efficient and green features garner special attention in the market. We offer ongoing sales trainings and customizable web and print collateral to help you truly sell the value of a high-performance home!
