Get More Out of Your New Home with ENERGY STAR Construction Guidelines

The best time to improve the energy efficiency of your home is while you’re still building it. ENERGY STAR provides a set of guidelines that can help increase the efficiency of your new home by 10 to 30 percent.

The ENERGY STAR new home program assists homeowners and builders in the construction and sale of new homes that offer a lower cost of ownership, better performance, higher resale value and greater confidence, all while helping to protect the environment.
