Green Home Survey with Energy Star Blue
Home Builders, homebuyers and homeowners more and more want to go “green” but how? It’s how we use our resources: energy, water, and materials. Sustainable development means reducing the “impact” or “carbon footprint” of our home on our planet. Using low-impact materials and building practices are important for:
- Energy-efficient construction
- Improved indoor air quality
- Efficient water use
- Options for renewable energy systems
- Waste reduction and recycling
- Smart growth and land use
What should Home Builders, homebuyers and homeowners look for when going GREEN?
Start with the blue energy Star mark-it’s the government backed symbol for energy efficiency. This label identifies a home or product as having earned the Energy Star.
An Energy Star home or product has:
- Efficient Home Envelop
- Efficient Air distribution
- Efficient Appliances
- Efficient Equipment
- Efficient water use
- Efficient Lighting
Did you know that a non green home can cause twice the greenhouse gas emissions as a typical gas car?
Did you know that a Green Home Survey could reduce existing home energy cost by 14 to 20% and more, by doing a number of in expenses repairs to your home? There may be a number of Weatherization Assistance Programs available to assist with the cost of repairs. There are also a number of rebates available for upgrading to Solar and energy Star Appliances.
