If you are going to build a new home, then...
you will want to know it's efficiency or how many miles it gets to the gallon. The RESNET
Energy Rater is certified to label it's energy efficiency. An efficient house will use thousands of
dollars less over the life of the mortgage, not to mention be more comfortable, more durable
and more healthy. There are about 105 million existing homes in the US today.
If you buy an Energy Star Certified home, you can rest assured that it has
been built to a higher standard than one that hasn't. Energy Star homes are
better than the rest and in 2012 they will get even better.
An Energy Star 3 built home is a better home for less money
over the life of your mortgage.
