Energy Star Certification Helps Sell Houses
Energy efficiency, comfort and lower utility bills are important factors for today's home buyers. Hundreds of builders in the Southeast are already building Energy Star homes to meet this demand - and we can help you get on the Energy Star path, too.
What is Energy Star?
It's a guarantee to your prospective home buyers that they will have lower utility bills, improved comfort and indoor air quality, and less maintenance over time. What's not to like about that? It also helps builders ease into a more sustainable path: when you start with Energy Star, green building becomes an easier goal.
Backed by the US EPA, the Energy Star for New Homes program offers a set of standards for incorporating energy efficient construction methods and features that result in at least 15% greater energy efficiency compared to typical homes. As one of the most widely recognized brands on the market today, the Energy Star label differentiates homes and shows as a builder you are committed to quality, efficiency and stewardship.
We'll help you find the most cost-effective path to integrating Energy Star features, such as:
- Effective insulation
- High-performance windows
- Tight construction and ducts
- Efficient heating and cooling equipment
- Efficient products
- Third-party qualification
