Energy Star Benefits including Tax info

Energy Star:
System-built homes with the Energy Star certification allow for even more efficiency, as well as savings. American homes use approximately 25
percent of the energy in the United States. Homes built featuring products with the Energy Star label use approximately 35 percent less energy than a typical new home, and prevent 4,500 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year. These homes have effective insulation, high performance windows, upgraded heating and air conditioning systems, tight duct systems and upgraded water heating equipment. Appliances in a new system-built home are most likely Energy Star certified as well. Looking for a green home options? System-built homes have an
eco-friendly advantage over site-built homes from the moment construction begins. Being factory built, it's easier to control the amounts of waste
created and recycled throughout the homebuilding process. Building materials are precut with system-built homes, significantly reducing waste by up to 70 percent.

To top the savings that you get from lower energy bills, you also have rebates that you can qualify for. Energy Star's website explains each category. As always consult your accountant.
