In addition to building high-quality homes, we at Condev Homes, understand the need to work toward building more energy-efficient homes as well for its customers, saving them potentially hundreds of dollars a year off their utility bills. That is why we are proud to say that all of our homes now earn the Energy Star mark, a certification only given to homes that are at least 15% more energy efficient than standard homes. To earn the high distinction of being an Energy Star certified home, all of our homes are carefully inspected by a third-party Home Energy Rater, during construction and at the completion of construction.

Most people have heard of Energy Star, but what does it mean and how is it beneficial to people who buy an Energy Star certified home from Condev Homes? In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency introduced its Energy Star program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through more energy efficient products and practices. Since that time, Energy Star has helped thousands of people and businesses reduce their energy needs through energy efficient solutions that help build a cleaner environment for the current generation and generations to come. Below are just a few of the benefits found in an Energy Star certified home from Condev Homes:

• More Comfortable/Quieter Living Practices utilized in constructing an Energy Star certified home offer a tighter building “envelope”, reducing moisture, dust, pollen, pests, and noise and providing better indoor air quality.
  
• Lower Utility Costs Properly installed insulation allows a homeowner to more easily maintain indoor temperatures throughout the house, while using less energy. In addition, properly sized air conditioning systems use less energy, decreasing utility costs.
  
• Helping Shape a Better Future Energy Star qualified homes help protect the environment for future generations by implementing energy-efficient practices that lower the homes’ energy consumption.
