Energy Efficiency

As energy costs take a noticeable chunk out of homeowner budgets, using energy wisely is being widely promoted. Next to a mortgage, energy costs are the most significant household expenditure. An energy efficient home offers lower energy costs.

The Built Green® program has a section within its checklist which recognizes ways a builder and homeowner can help create a more energy efficient home.  This category promotes energy efficiency actions intended to push projects beyond Energy Code minimums toward Energy Star levels and beyond.
