Headings
Headings are from a range of 1 through 6. Headings are the largest text on the screen, reserved for short, important text or numerals.
Overview
Headings help users and search engines to read and understand text. Headings also define which parts of your content are important, and show how they're interconnected
If you have an empty heading, a screen reader will alert the user that a heading is present, but it will not read out any text because there is none available to read. This may confuse users and could keep them from accessing the information on the page. If a user is navigating the contents of the page and they encounter an empty heading, they may move forward to the next heading in the list and could potentially miss entire sections of content.
Headings by Business Unit
The weights of the headings are used to identify a Business Unit's visual language. This is one of the ways to create different visual languages between Residential, Business, and Enterprise.

and to the subtitle the class rs-subtit
.
Title class="rs-has-subtit" directly followed by another title
class="rs-subtit" = Secondary title preceeded by another title
