What is Energy Star®?
Energy Star® is a program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. It is a partnership between the government and more than 9,000 organizations, including 2,500 of the nation’s home builders to achieve a common goal: protecting the environment for future generations by changing to more energy-efficient practices today.
Energy Star® means that a new home is significantly more energy-efficient than a standard home. To qualify for Energy Star® certification, a builder must meet stringent standards of construction, and qualifying homes must be inspected and certified by an independent company.
