What are ENERGY STAR qualified new homes?

ENERGY STAR qualified homes are independently verified to be at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). These savings are based on heating, cooling, and hot water energy use and are typically achieved through a combination of:

Building envelope upgrades,
High performance windows,
Controlled air infiltration,
Upgraded heating and air conditioning systems,
Tight duct systems and
Upgraded water-heating equipment.

These features contribute to improved home quality and homeowner comfort, and to lower energy demand and reduced air pollution. ENERGY STAR also encourages the use of energy-efficient lighting and appliances, as well as features designed to improve indoor air quality.

Majority of Households Recognize Energy Star Label-

Public awareness of the Energy Star label has jumped to 68% of U.S. households, according to a recent nationwide survey released on April 25th. Only 12% had only a "general" understanding of what the label means.

In many major markets where utilities and other organizations use Energy Star to promote energy efficiency to their customers, public awareness was found to be even greater, averaging 76%.

Among other key findings published last month from the Environmental Protection Agency:

57% of the households polled associated the Energy Star label with "efficiency or energy savings."
Of those households who recognized the Energy Star label and purchased a product in a "relevant" product category within the past 12 months, 66% purchased an Energy Star-labeled product.
Among all households, 31% knew they had purchased an Energy Star-labeled product in the last 12 months.
63% of the households who said they had purchased an Energy Star product, the label was "very much" influential in at least one of their purchase decisions.
71% of households that recognized the label and purchased a product in a category where Energy Star products are an option said they were likely to recommend Energy Star products to a friend.

The annual survey has been conducted for the past seven years.

Homebuyer Incentives-

Because ENERGY STAR qualified new homes offer significant utility bill savings each and every month, ownership gives you access to special financing opportunities such as Energy Efficient Mortgages. These special mortgages make it easier for borrowers to qualify to purchase homes with specific energy-efficiency improvements. Contact your local ENERGY STAR lender to learn more about how buying an ENERGY STAR qualified new home can truly pay significant dividends.

As a home buyer you can also reap the benefits from special utility promotions designed to encourage homeowners to reduce their energy consumption through energy efficiency. These promotions often include product rebates on home products that bear the ENERGY STAR label, reimbursement for the cost of having your home energy rated by a certified home energy rater, as well as other energy efficiency perks depending on the structure of the utility's ENERGY STAR program. The bottom line is that by installing energy efficient features in your new home such as a high SEER heating and cooling unit, low-e windows, and improved insulation, you can save money on your monthly utility bills, live in a more comfortable home, and help keep energy demand down.
