The highest standard in energy efficiency for a newly constructed home is the ENERGY STAR® designation.
An ENERGY STAR qualified home is independently verified to be at least 15% more efficient than what's
required by state energy code. Its remarkable performance features include enhanced insulation, air sealing,
ventilation, and high-efficiency appliances. The primary benefits of building or buying an ENERGY STAR qualified
home are:
- lower utility costs
- increased comfort and home quality
- reduced air pollution
National Grid offers a variety of incentives and technical support to help you achieve the ENERGY STAR certification.
