ENERGY STAR Certified Homes and Apartments: Better is Better

A new home that has earned the ENERGY STAR label was designed and built to standards well above most other homes on the market today, and has undergone a process of inspections, testing, and verification to meet strict requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ENERGY STAR certified homes are at least 10% more energy efficient than homes built to code and achieve a 20% improvement on average, while providing homeowners with better quality, performance, and comfort.
