Benefits of Building ENERGY STAR Qualified Homes

As ENERGY STAR partners, builders can also gain the following advantages:
Market Differentiation and Recognition
Partnering with ENERGY STAR distinguishes builders as leaders in energy-efficient construction and environmental stewardship, providing valuable peer and public recognition that translates into market advantage because consumers increasingly ask for ENERGY STAR.
As homebuyers across the country become increasingly interested in green building, energy efficiency is the best place for them to start. And the easy way for builders to show that their new homes are energy efficient is with the blue ENERGY STAR logo mark, the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency.

Enhanced Customer Satisfaction
The energy-efficient features built into ENERGY STAR qualified homes increase comfort and satisfaction, resulting in fewer homeowner complaints and callbacks.
Increased Revenue
The built-in energy-saving features can increase revenue on ENERGY STAR qualified homes. In addition, the projected energy savings may allow a buyer to afford additional upgrades, further increasing the builder’s profit.
Program Flexibility
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.
EPA Support for Builders
As ENERGY STAR partners, builders can use EPA-produced marketing resources and technical resources at no cost. Some examples include:
- ENERGY STAR Logo Marks
- Partner Locator listing, which links customers to ENERGY STAR partners
- Consumer Brochures, Fact Sheets, and Sales Toolkit
- Outreach Partnership (not available in 2010)
