about the energy-efficient features found in their homes.

Cost

ENERGY STAR Homes make it possible for owners to save money
each month because on utility bills and maintenance costs. As an
ENERGY STAR Home owner, your utility bills may be reduced by as
much as $35 per month - a significant savings when you consider the
true cost of a house is not its "sticker" price, but what it costs you to
own and operate every month.

Quality Construction

ENERGY STAR Homes are more tightly constructed and often contain
high-efficiency equipment, such as ENERGY STAR air conditioners,
heat pumps, furnaces and higher-grade heat exchangers.

Improved Comfort

ENERGY STAR Homes' features, such as improved insulation,
advanced windows, and high efficiency heating and cooling
equipment, improve comfort by eliminating annoying drafts, airborne
dust, and reducing outside noise.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

ENERGY STAR Homes have better sealed ducts, providing home
owners with improved indoor air quality. Adequate ventilation reduces
exposure to potential sources of indoor air pollutants, dust, and radon
that can enter through leaks in attics, basements, and garages.

Access to Preferred Financing

National and local ENERGY STAR Mortgages make it easier for home
buyers to qualify for ENERGY STAR Homes. In some cases, loan
origination fees may be discounted along with easier loan qualification
requirements.

Saving the Earth

Buying an ENERGY STAR Home means you'll be helping to save our
planet. How? Homes contribute 20 percent of all U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. By building and buying more energy-efficient homes, we
can help reduce air pollution.
