Why do Builders partner with ENERGY STAR?

EPA's ENERGY STAR program helps builders meet consumers' growing demand for high quality, energy-efficient homes.

Build ENERGY STAR qualified homes to:

Enhance Home buyer Satisfaction
Provide your customers with a value added benefit-energy efficiency-and help them save money every month, be more comfortable at home, and protect our environment.  The quality features built into ENERGY STAR homes translate into lasting value, increased customer satisfaction, and more referrals.  Recent JD Powers surveys show a strong correlation between a builder's participation in ENERGY STAR and higher customer satisfaction ratings.

Increase Profit
Satisfy the growing demand of today's homeowners to save energy, and translate that into an opportunity for your company to profit.  Some buyers will use projected energy savings to pay for additional, high value upgrades.  ENERGY STAR builder partners also report reduced customer callbacks and fewer warrantee claims.

Reduce Liability
Adopt EPA's rigorous guidelines, which include third-party inspections and testing, to help reduce liability issues.  In particular, new requirements will help builders avoid common construction defects such as air leakage, improperly installed insulation, and missing air barrier details that can result in drafts, uncomfortable temperatures, and moisture problems.  These defects can be easily detected using infrared cameras.  As a result, the details of true quality construction are no longer hidden behind the walls.

Gain Recognition
Associate your company with a nationally recognized, trusted program to create market advantage.  Partnering with EPA distinguishes your company as a leader in efficient construction, craftsmanship, and environmental stewardship.  More and more Americans recognize the ENERGY STAR as the mark for high efficiency.
