Energy Efficiency Certification: Understanding ENERGY STAR
ENERGY STAR. It’s the little label with the big message: Better is Better.
EnergyReports.net is proud to offer rating services that help certify new homes and apartments as energy-efficient homes through the ENERGY STAR certification. The presence of the ENERGY STAR label signifies that a home has been designed and built to meet standards for building energy compliance that exceed those of typical homes on the market today. This certification indicates better quality, improved comfort, and enhanced durability, making it not only a better value for today but also a smarter investment for tomorrow. Homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their home has undergone a rigorous process of inspections, testing, and verification to ensure compliance with the stringent requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Peace of Mind. The result of a home that’s built better.
With the ENERGY STAR label on a new home or apartment, homeowners and building owners can be confident in their choice. When building energy compliance requirements are applied to new home construction, an integrated approach to design, combined with tried-and-true best building practices, results in energy-efficient homes that are durable and comfortable, while also reducing utility and maintenance costs. All ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments have undergone more inspections and testing than typical homes to ensure they are built to higher standards.
Enduring Quality. Better systems make all the difference.
Purchasing a new home is a significant investment, so it’s crucial to ensure that it meets building energy compliance standards and is built to last. We guarantee that builders of new ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments have designed them with energy-efficient features that add value, utilizing a combination of materials and equipment to enhance performance.
ENERGY STAR certification for new homes and apartments includes features such as:
A comprehensive Thermal Enclosure System that provides thorough air sealing, well-installed insulation, and high-performance windows to improve comfort and reduce utility bills.
A high-efficiency Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling System that is optimized for exceptional performance.
A robust Water Management System designed to safeguard roofs, walls, and foundations from moisture damage.
Energy-efficient Lighting and Appliances that help keep utility costs low while ensuring top-notch performance and durability.
Wall-to-Wall Comfort. A better way to live.
Ask anyone who lives in an energy-efficient home with ENERGY STAR certification to go back to their old residence. They’ll likely say there’s no way they’ll give up the comfort that accompanies their new home, which meets building energy compliance standards. From the moment you walk in the door of an ENERGY STAR certified home or apartment, you’ll see, feel, and hear the difference.
Proven Value. A better investment for today and tomorrow.
Homes and apartments that hold the ENERGY STAR certification demonstrate superior energy efficiency and performance compared to others, presenting a better value today and a smarter investment for the future. These energy-efficient homes and apartments are at least 10% more energy efficient than those built to code, with an average improvement of 20%. By meeting building energy compliance standards, ENERGY STAR certified new homes and apartments ensure long-term savings and environmental benefits.
