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.
