Why Buy an ENERGY STAR/GREEN BUILD HOME?
 

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that a typical home can cause twice the greenhouse gas emissions of the typical car?

Homebuilders and homebuyers across the country are increasingly interested in green building. But what exactly makes a home green?

Green building means improving the way that homes and homebuilding sites use energy, water, and materials to reduce impacts on human health and the environment. Building a green home means making environmentally-preferable and sustainable decisions throughout the building process-decisions that will minimize the environmental impact of the home while it is being built and over the many years it will be lived in.

DID YOU KNOW?
Each ENERGY STAR qualified home can keep 4,500 lbs of greenhouse gases out of our air each year.  And because homes have such long life spans, this environmental benefit lasts for many, many years.

 
 
 

  • An Efficient Home Envelope, with effective levels of wall, floor and attic insulation
    properly installed, comprehensive air barrier details, and high-performance windows;

  • Efficient Air Distribution, where ducts are installed with minimum air leakage and
    are effectively insulated;

  • Efficient Equipment for heating, cooling, and water heating;

  • Efficient Lighting, including fixtures that earn the ENERGY STAR; and
    Efficient Appliances, including ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers,
    refrigerators, and clothes washers.

    These energy efficiency improvements save homeowners money — about $200 to $400 per year on utility bills. More importantly, monthly energy savings can easily exceed any additional mortgage cost for the energy efficiency improvements, resulting in a positive cash flow from the first day of home ownership. As a result, the cost-effectiveness of ENERGY STAR improvements can help offset additional costs associated with other green home features.

Did you know?
Energy Star Homes utility bills are as much as 60% lower than comparable sized homes?!
