Energy Star Homes
What it is...
Energy Star is a United States government program to promote energy efficient consumer products. It is well known for its logo appearing on many computer products and peripherals, though on many European-targeted products, TCO Certification, a combined energy usage and ergonomics rating from the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees (TCO), is used instead.
About Us...
All of our homes are designed to meet the national Energy Star requirements. Beginning with 2x6 exterior walls that have a R19 rating blown in Cellulose Insulation in the walls, and a R40 in the ceilings. The homes also include a completely finished lower level with R13 Cellulose in the walls.
The homes come with high efficient 2 stage furnaces, Low-E (energy) glass on all the windows, and tyvac or similar to protect the exterior from air and water infiltration. When completed will be tested and new home owners will receive a certificate from Energy Star to prove the quality of their home.
