What is an ENERGYSTAR® rated home?

Here are some typical features

Higher Insulation Levels

Walls and ceilings are insulated beyond what is required by the building code, which contributes to more even temperatures in your home.

Efficient heating and cooling systems

These systems help you save energy, which saves you money every year.

Additional Air-sealing

ENERGY STAR certified homes are built to meet a specific energy target and are built sufficiently airtight to save energy and provide better comfort. The homes are more air-sealed than a typical new home and help to reduce drafts and cold spots, dust, pollen, pests, and noise.

High performing windows, patio doors, and skylights

Walls and ceilings are insulated beyond what is required by the building code, which contributes to more even temperatures in your home.

A whole-home ventilation system

An air-exchanger, called a heat or energy recovery ventilation system, can help improve the indoor air quality by expelling stale air and replacing it with filtered outdoor air.

ENERGY STAR certified products

A variety of ENERGY STAR certified products such as lighting, appliances, or air conditioners save you money by using less electricity.
