Follow ENERGY STAR Construction Guidelines

Improve Energy Efficiency up to 30 Percent in Your New Home
Save Money and Help the Environment

If you’re planning on building your dream home, don’t miss the opportunity to make it an ENERGY STAR qualified home. The best time to improve the energy efficiency of your home is while you’re still building it.

ENERGY STAR qualified homes provide:

• Better performance
• Higher resale value
• Less environmental impact
• A potential tax credit for first-time home buyers

The ENERGY STAR New Homes Program assists homeowners and builders in the construction of new homes by providing:

• Construction and equipment recommendations prior to building
• Financial incentives for builders
• An post-construction energy efficiency inspection to ensure ENERGY STAR standards have been met
