What is an
Energy Star Labeled Home?
Uses 30% Less Energy
Homes built in the 21st century will be
judged in large part by how well they
"perform" for their owners. For homeowners,
the top two performance indicators are
comfort and lower costs. A truly comfortable
home is warm in the winter, cool in the
summer, free from drafts, quiet, and
durable. And, at the same time, a home must
be economical. ENERGY STAR labeled homes
cost 30% less to heat and cool than
conventional new homes. That means big
savings every month, every year, you own the
home.
ENERGY STAR labeled homes are more
comfortable.
A well-insulated, tightly sealed home with
high-performance windows and a controlled
ventilation system performs up to the high
comfort standards that discriminating
homebuyers expect.
ENERGY STAR labeled homes are
performance-tested.
Each ENERGY STAR labeled home must pass a
computer-based energy analysis, inspections,
and testing. Only those homes that meet
high-efficiency guidelines are certified as
ENERGY STAR. While many builders claim to
build "energy-efficient" homes, only
builders of ENERGY STAR labeled homes can
prove it.
ENERGY STAR labeled homes are healthier.
Mechanical ventilation systems help ensure
good indoor air quality at all times. A
properly sealed duct system increases
comfort, reduces energy leaks, and minimizes
the risk of radon gas entering the house.
ENERGY STAR labeled homes are a quality
investment.
By investing in high-performance energy
features. ENERGY STAR labeled homeowners get
a more energy-efficient, comfortable, and
cost-effective home that produces a positive
cash flow for them each month. And ENERGY
STAR labeled homes often have a higher
resale value when it's time to sell.
