What is an Energy Star Home?
Now in its 25th year of operation, Energy Star labeled homes incorporate energy saving in design and construction. With the Energy Star label from the US Environmental Protection Agency, homeowners can be assured that their home is truly energy-efficient.
Energy Star labeled homes in Utah have passed stringent energy efficiency guidelines and standards established by the EPA Energy Star Homes program and verified through a network of trained Home Energy Consultants coordinated through our office, Energy Rated Homes of Utah (ERHU). Energy Star Homebuilders in Utah are committed to building comfortable, high quality, energy efficient homes that enable buyers to get more house for the money, while enhancing the home’s overall value. They must also meet all the requirements of the EPA’s Thermal Enclosure System and HVAC Installation Checklist. This third-party energy rating also enables buyers to qualify for an Energy Efficient Mortgage. So remember, before you buy a new home, make sure it has a 5-Star Energy Star Home rating.
