Increasingly, homeowners are demanding energy efficient homes - and for good reason. They provide their owners with:
· Financial savings due to reduced energy use · Higher home comfort levels and a better quality of life · Higher resale values In addition to the reasons listed above, an energy efficient home is also better for the environment; for example, 16% of all greenhouse gases produced in the United States come from residential dwellings. Once you've decided to build an energy efficient home, how do you do it? Reynolds Signature Homes is proud to offer new homes that have earned the ENERGY STAR® label. The ENERGY STAR label means that your new home has been designed and built to standards well above other homes in the market today. It means better quality, better comfort, and better durability. It also means that your new home is a better value for today, and a better investment for tomorrow. The ENERGY STAR label gives you the peace of mind that your home has undergone a better process for inspections, testing, and verification to ensure that it meets strict requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ENERGY STAR certified homes are better because they are designed and built to provide homeowners peace of mind - the result of a home that is built better. With the ENERGY STAR label on your new home, you can be confident that it will deliver. When ENERGY STAR requirements are applied to new home construction, an integrated approach to design combined with tried-and-true best building practices adds up to a durable, comfortable home with reduced utility and maintenance costs. Our ENERGY STAR certified homes have undergone more inspections and testing than typical homes to ensure that your new home was built to higher standards. |
