ENERGY STAR® Qualified Homes
ENERGY STAR certified homes are independently verified to be at least 10% more energy efficient than homes built to code, and achieve a 20% improvement on average — while delivering better quality, durability, and comfort.
What is ENERGY STAR for New Homes?
ENERGY STAR for New Homes is a voluntary program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Homes that earn the ENERGY STAR label have been independently verified to meet strict energy efficiency guidelines. The program covers the building envelope, HVAC systems, water heating, and lighting and appliances.
Benefits of ENERGY STAR Certification
Lower Energy Bills
ENERGY STAR certified homes use significantly less energy than standard new homes, saving homeowners hundreds of dollars per year on utility bills.
Greater Comfort
Better insulation, high-performance windows, and tighter construction mean fewer drafts, more consistent temperatures, and better humidity control.
Better Quality
The rigorous third-party verification process helps ensure that the home is built right, reducing the likelihood of moisture problems, pest intrusion, and premature deterioration.
Higher Resale Value
ENERGY STAR certified homes are recognized in the marketplace and can command a premium at resale.
