Enhance homebuyer satisfaction
Provide customers with a value-added benefit – energy efficiency – and help them save money every month, be comfortable at home, and protect our environment. The quality features built into ENERGY STAR homes translate into lasting value, increased customer satisfaction and more referrals. Recent J.D. Power Associates surveys show a strong correlation between a builder’s participation in ENERGY STAR and higher customer satisfaction ratings.
Increase profits
Satisfy the growing demand of today’s homeowners to save energy, and translate that into an opportunity for your company to profit. Some buyers will use projected energy savings to pay for additional, high-value upgrades. ENERGY STAR builder partners also report reduced customer callbacks and fewer warrantee claims.
Reduce liability
Adopt the Environmental Protection Agency’s rigorous guidelines, which include third-party inspections and testing, to help reduce liability issues. In particular, new requirements will help builders avoid common construction defects such as air leakage, improperly installed insulation and missing air barrier details that can result in drafts, uncomfortable temperatures and moisture problems. As a result, the details of true quality construction are no longer hidden behind the walls.
Gain recognition
Associate your company with a nationally recognized, trusted program to create market advantage. Partnering with EPA distinguishes a company as a leader in efficient construction, craftsmanship and environmental stewardship.
