ENERGY STAR® Certified Homes: Efficiency, Comfort, and Environmental Responsibility
ENERGY STAR® certified homes are designed to meet the strict energy performance standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These homes are at least 15% more energy-efficient than those built to the 2004 International Residential Code (IRC), offering homeowners significant savings on utilities, enhanced comfort, and a reduced environmental footprint.
