ENERGY STAR certified home

The ENERGY STAR® symbol indicates that a product meets or exceeds high efficiency standards. ENERGY STAR homes are on average 20% more energy-efficient than typical new homes built to code. These homes are built to the ENERGY STAR for New Homes Standard by certified ENERGY STAR builders. Typical features of these homes include high levels of insulation, whole-house mechanical ventilation systems and highly energy- efficient windows. These features translate to savings on energy bills and increased comfort.
