ENERGY STAR, Indoor Air Plus, Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready and Green Building practices are standard in a High Performance New Home.
Energy Star V.3 – 5 Star Plus
With each new ENERGY STAR® qualified home from Charles Thomas Homes, the future looks a little brighter. When ENERGY STAR unveiled their new Version 3 requirements, most builders dropped out. Not us! We are STILL 100% ENERGY STAR! Anything less is NOT ENERGY STAR!
OUR HOMES PROVIDE:
LOWER UTILITY BILLS
Our ENERGY STAR qualified homes use substantially less energy—delivering $500 to $1,000 in annual savings. Over the average 7 to 8 years you may live in your home, this adds up to thousands of dollars saved on utility bills.
THE GOVERNMENT BACKED ENERGY STAR LABEL
Home buying is complex enough without having to know all the details of energy-efficient construction. Instead, look for the ENERGY STAR label to easily identify homes that are truly energy efficient.
COMFORT AND QUIET
Properly installed energy efficiency features deliver better protection against cold, heat, drafts, moisture, pollution, and noise. Our ENERGY STAR qualified homes help to provide consistent temperatures, improved indoor air quality, and greater durability.
LOWER MAINTENANCE
Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a low-maintenance home. Tight construction and long-lasting, efficient equipment make our homes more durable, helping to minimize many of the maintenance problems found in typical homes.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Buying an ENERGY STAR qualified home is a decision you can be proud of. Energy used in our homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which contributes to smog, acid rain, and global warming. By using less energy, your new ENERGY STAR qualified home helps to reduce the amount of air pollution generated.
