ENERGY STAR^® Homes

ENERGY STAR homes are among the most energy-efficient homes on the market today. An ENERGY STAR home is constructed to use at least 30% less energy than a typical new home.

That energy savings means significant dollar savings on your utility bills each month. Enough dollar savings to make the ENERGY STAR Home a smart and profitable choice for any new home buyer. In addition to assisting new home builders in developing energy-efficient homes, it also identifies financing opportunities for new home buyers. Aside from saving money, here are five more reasons that make the ENERGY STAR Home a smart and profitable purchase:

• Improved Comfort

• Quality Construction

• Improved Air Quality

• Strong Position for High Resale Value

• A Better Environment

Furthermore, American household energy use contributes to air pollution, including 20% of all US carbon dioxide emissions. ENERGY STAR Homes help reduce this pollution.

ENERGY STAR Buildings Program

The ENERGY STAR building program is a voluntary energy efficiency program that helps commercial building owners reduce energy use in all areas: lighting, heating, cooling, and air handling.
