• Certified Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes are more comfortable, safe, and durable.
• Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes are estimated to be 25% more energy efficient than those built to Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Codes.
• You will be building to the standards that are appropriate for Wisconsin's extreme climate and lowering your energy bills for years to come.
• They are typically 20-30% more efficient than standard homes.
Recently, one of our new ENERGY STAR certified homes was tested with REM/Rate Residential Energy Analysis and Rating. Below are the energy cost savings per year:
| Energy Cost savings per Year | |
|---|---|
| Heating | $1376 |
| Cooling | $83 |
| Water Heating | $87 |
Total Savings Per Year |
$1546 |
In addition, the home also prevented 37,000 lbs. of Carbon Dioxide CO2, 159 lbs. of Sulfur Dioxide SO2, and 103.5 lbs. of Nitrogen Oxides emissions per year. So not only is a new home more energy efficient but it safer for the enviornment.
