Benefits of an ENERGY STAR® Certified Home
If you're building a new home, one of the smartest investments you can make is choosing an ENERGY STAR® certified home. More than just an energy-efficient house, an ENERGY STAR certified home is designed and independently verified to deliver superior comfort, lower utility bills, healthier indoor air, and long-term durability.
What Is an ENERGY STAR Certified Home?
An ENERGY STAR certified home is built to rigorous standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Every certified home undergoes independent third-party inspections and performance testing to verify that it exceeds minimum building code requirements for energy efficiency.
ENERGY STAR certified homes are typically at least 10% more energy efficient than homes built to current code.
Lower Energy Bills
High-performance insulation, air sealing, efficient HVAC systems, and quality windows work together to reduce energy consumption and monthly utility bills.
Superior Comfort
ENERGY STAR homes minimize drafts, cold spots, and uneven temperatures, providing consistent comfort throughout every season.
Healthier Indoor Air
Controlled ventilation and tighter construction improve indoor air quality by reducing dust, pollen, moisture, and outdoor pollutants.
Built to Last
Advanced moisture management and durable construction practices help protect your investment while reducing maintenance costs.
Higher Resale Value
Energy-efficient homes continue to grow in demand, making certification an attractive feature for future buyers.
Better for the Environment
Lower energy consumption reduces greenhouse gas emissions while helping conserve natural resources.
