EPA’s ENERGY STAR first appeared in 1992 on energy-efficient computers and monitors.
In 1995, Energy Star launched a new initiative enabling an entire house to earn the label...
…providing homeowners a clear way to identify better-built, more comfortable and energy-efficient homes.
Twenty years later, nearly 1.6 million Americans have made the simple choice
to enjoy the quality and comfort of an ENERGY STAR certified home.
Together, these homeowners have saved more than $4.5 billion on their energy bills...
Plus each ENERGY STAR certified home delivers up to 30 percent energy savings…
Which makes a significant impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions
These benefits come from energy efficiency features designed and built to work together.
Many are hidden – behind walls, in the attic, and under the foundation.
But they have huge benefits that are seen, heard, and felt.
Like reduced air leaks and drafts.
More consistent temperatures year-round.
Better water management and durability.
And improved indoor air.
Plus, the peace-of-mind of knowing that ENERGY STAR certified homes
undergo more inspections and testing than typical homes.
It all adds up to a home that’s better for our families, our communities, and our environment.
And that’s the ENERGY STAR certified homes story for the last twenty years.
Thank you for being a part of the ENERGY STAR family.
