What is an ENERGY STAR home, and how does it save money and resources?
An ENERGY STAR home is independently certified by a third party inspection agency. The process starts with the blueprints. A complete energy analysis of the planned home is determined, and all necessary steps to increase energy efficiency are then incorporated. The home is inspected several times during the building process to ensure all work is to the highest standards.

• Superior Insulation Installation – Must be installed and rated at ENERGY STAR standards.

• High Performance Windows – ENERGY STAR rated windows with a low-E coating.

• Tighter Construction/Tighter Ducts – Advanced techniques are used to seal every part of the home, which also reduces noise, moisture, pollen, and dust.

• Efficient Heating and Cooling – HVAC systems must be ENERGY STAR rated, and higher than normal performance systems may be required.

• Complete Air Barrier – Tested using a field-verified blower test.
