What is ENERGY STAR?

To earn the ENERGY STAR rating, a home must meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. EPA. ENERGY STAR certified homes, townhomes, and condominiums are quieter and more comfortable, have lower utility bills, and help protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These standards include features such as effective insulation, high performance windows, tight construction and HVAC ducts, high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment, and qualified lighting and appliances.
