PEACE
OF
MIND. The
government-backed
ENERGY
STAR
label
identifies
homes
that
are
truly
energy
efficient
and
meet
strict
energy
efficiency
guidelines.
LOWER
OWNERSHIP
COSTS. Compared
with
standard
homes,
ENERGY
STAR
homes
use
substantially
less
energy
for
heating,
cooling
and
water
heating-
delivering
substantial
annual
savings
on
utility
bills.
Additional
savings
on
maintenance
can
also
be
substantial.
BETTER
PERFORMANCE. Properly
installed
energy-efficient
improvements
deliver
better
protection
against
cold,
heat,
drafts,
moisture,
pollution
and
noise.
An
energy-efficient
home
helps
ensure
consistent
temperatures,
improved
air
quality
and
greater
durability.
SMART
INVESTMENT. By
choosing
an
ENERGY
STAR
home
you
can
be
confident
it
will
have
increased
value
when
re-selling.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION. Home
energy
usage
contributes
to
smog,
acid
rain
and
global
warming.
The
less
energy
we
use
in
our
homes,
the
less
air
pollution
we
generate.
