American Legend Homes is pleased to announce that it has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with a 2011 ENERGY STAR Leadership in Housing Award.  This award recognizes the important contribution American Legend has made to energy-efficient construction and environmental protection by building more than 230 ENERGY STAR qualified homes last year.  These homes will save American Legend customers approximately $447 on utility bills each year.  Collectively, the American Legend homes will save customers approximately $89,400 on utility bills annually!

The environmental benefits of these ENERGY STAR qualified homes are equal to the equivalent of:

- Eliminating the emissions from 112.7 vehicles

- Saving 681,720 lbs of coal

- Planting 186.3 acres of trees or

- Saving the environment 1,336,990 pounds of CO2 per year

To earn the ENERGY STAR, a home must meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These homes are at least 20 percent more efficient than standard new homes built today.
