Two Structures Homes
Two Structures Homes builds high-performance homes across the Oklahoma City metro—designed to save money, improve indoor air quality, and reduce environmental impact. Each home is independently certified by OG&E’s Positive Energy Program and built to meet or exceed national energy efficiency standards, including HERS® and ENERGY STAR certification.
In this month’s feature, we talked with Jay Evans, co-owner of Two Structures Homes, about their commitment to building HERS® homes.
Q: What is special about a HERS-rated home?
A: Jay Evans: At Two Structures Homes, a HERS-rated home means you don’t just have to take our word for it — an independent professional has tested and verified how efficient the home really is. It’s like having a “miles-per-gallon” sticker for your house. This score gives buyers confidence that their home was built with higher standards, ensuring lower utility bills, consistent comfort, and a long-term investment they can feel good about.
Q: Why should consumers ask for the HERS Index Score on homes they are shopping for?
A: Jay Evans: Because not all homes are created equal. The HERS Index Score is a simple, easy-to-understand number that tells you how energy-efficient a home really is. When shopping for homes, it takes the guesswork out of comparing options. It allows buyers to see beyond the paint colors and finishes, and instead understand what their monthly costs and long-term value will look like. Having that score in hand provides peace of mind and helps families make a confident decision.
Q: Why did Two Structures Homes choose to have this home HERS-rated?
A: Jay Evans: We choose to have every home HERS-rated because we believe in being transparent and accountable. We believe homeowners deserve more than promises — they deserve proof that their home is not just attractive on the surface but is built to perform behind the walls with higher efficiency, durability, and comfort. The rating gives independent verification that our homes meet higher energy standards and that our construction practices deliver what we promise: homes that are strong, efficient, and built to last. — It’s the evidence that our homes are truly Built Better!
Q: Why should consumers expect energy-efficient homes?
A: Jay Evans: A home is where families gather, grow, and live out their daily routines. Comfort and affordability are essential. Energy-efficient homes mean more stable indoor temperatures, healthier air, and lower monthly bills — all of which directly improve quality of life. In today’s world, efficiency isn’t just an upgrade; it should be the standard. Every homeowner deserves to feel comfortable in their space without worrying about utility costs draining their budget.
Q: How many homes does Two Structures build with HERS per year?
A: Jay Evans: Every single home we build is HERS-rated. We don’t see it as optional or a marketing add-on — it’s a cornerstone of how we build. Whether it’s a first home for a young family, a move-up home, or a custom build, each buyer deserves the assurance that their home has been inspected and tested for energy performance..
Q: How do you market HERS-rated homes?
A: Jay Evans: We believe what’s behind the walls matters just as much as what you see. That’s why we put HERS front and center in our marketing. From videos and open house tours to our website and one-on-one conversations, we show buyers how the HERS Index works and why it’s important. It helps them see that Two Structures Homes are not only beautiful and thoughtfully designed, but also built to save them money and provide lasting comfort.
Q: How do your customers feel about HERS-rated homes?
A: Jay Evans: Our customers consistently tell us how much they value the benefits of their HERS-rated home. Many are pleasantly surprised at how low their monthly utility bills are, and they notice right away how comfortable their homes feel throughout the seasons. Beyond the savings, they say the HERS Score gives them peace of mind. It’s reassuring to know that their home was tested, verified, and built with care — not just for today, but for the many years they’ll call it home.
Q: What rating company do you work with on your HERS-rated homes?
A: Jay Evans: We partner with CLEAResult for our HERS Ratings, and their team goes above and beyond to ensure accuracy and performance. They gather every detail needed for their energy modeling and work closely with us during the process. This partnership helps us confirm that we’re building to the highest standards and gives our homeowners the best possible HERS scores. With CLEAResult’s support, we’re able to show our buyers clear proof that their Two Structures home is Built Better.
