Build Energy Star qualified Homes to:

Enhance Homebuyer Satisfaction

Help your customers save money and energy every month, create a comfortable home, and protect our environment. The quality features built into ENERGY STAR qualified homes leads to lasting value, increased customer satisfaction, and more referrals.

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 warranty claims.

Reduce Liability

EPA's rigorous guidelines and third-party inspections and testing help reduce liability issues. New standards 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.

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. Americans recognize the ENERGY STAR as the mark for high efficiency.

Promote Environmental Protection

Build ENERGY STAR qualified homes and help protect our environment. 16 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are generated from the energy used in houses nationwide. Simply put, the less energy we use in our homes, the less air pollution we generate.

Participate In A Flexible Program

Builders choose from "tried and true" energy efficiency features to meet ENERGY STAR guidelines. The variety of features available can be integrated with consumer preferred designs, layouts, or option packages. Your Home Energy Rater will work with you to determine the most cost-effective measures for you to use in building ENERGY STAR qualified homes.    

Receive EPA Support

As ENERGY STAR partners, builders can use EPA-produced marketing and technical resources at no cost. Examples include the ENERGY STAR logos; partner locator listing, which links customers to ENERGY STAR builders; consumer brochures, fact sheets, and the marketing toolkit; the outreach partnership; and awards and recognition from EPA.
