Peace Of Mind:
- Instead of knowing all the complex details of energy-efficient
construction, look for the government-backed ENERGY STAR label to
easily identify homes that are truly energy efficient.
- Find the house of your dreams and enjoy peace of mind knowing
that it also meets strict energy-efficient guidelines.
Lower Ownership Cost:
- Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR qualified homes use
substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and water
heating-delivering $200 to $400 in annual savings.
- Over the average 7 to 8 years you may live in your home, this
adds up to thousands of dollars saved on utility bills.
- Additional savings on maintenance can also be substantial.
Better Performance:
- Properly installed energy-efficient improvements deliver better
protection against cold, heat, drafts, moisture, pollution, and
noise.
- An energy-efficient home helps ensure consistent temperatures
between and across rooms, improved indoor air quality, and greater
durability.
Smart Investment:
- To date, over 2,500 home builders have partnered with EPA to
construct more than 500,000 ENERGY STAR qualified homes.
- By the end of the decade, more than 2 million homes are expected
to earn the ENERGY STAR. The trend is clear. By choosing a home
with the ENERGY STAR label, you can be confident that it will have
an increasingly valued feature when the time comes to sell.
