Why Choose an ENERGY STAR Home and Built By Adams?
30%-50% SAVINGS ON UTILITY COSTS
ENERGY STAR® homes make it possible for Homeowners to save money each month on utility bills
and maintenance costs. As an ENERGY STAR® Homeowner, your utility bills may be reduced by as
much as 30%-50% each month, a significant savings when you consider the true cost of a home is not
its “sticker” price but what it costs you to own and operate it every month.
What this means for you and your family is more then just cost savings, its a better quality of life.
Keeping your home running smoothly is a big expense, and by saving up to 30% each month on your
utility costs allows you to do more with your life. This savings is guaranteed by Built By Adams for
the first 3 years you own a home or we will pay 50% of the overage on your utility bills.
SOLID CONSTRUCTION
ENERGY STAR® homes are more tightly constructed and contain high efficiency heating and air
conditioning equipment, more insulation, tighter ducts, energy-efficient windows, and more tightly
sealed against heat transfer from hot walls, drafts, noise, dust, and pollen.
COMFORT AND QUIET
Tighter construction and improved insulation help keep out excess heat, cold and noise while
maintaining consistent temperatures from room to room. Individual air returns allow air to circulate
so you can keep bedroom doors closed for privacy.
HEALTHIER INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Energy Star® homes have better sealed ducts which help keep dust, pollen, mold, radon, and carbon
monoxide out, so you can breathe easier. Built By Adams includes as a standard practice Panasonic
Whisper Green Ventilation fans that run without the homeowners assistance. Exhausting moisture
and stale air from a tight home is crucial to it's peformance and to help maintain healthy indoor air
quality.
A BETTER ENVIRONMENT
Almost 20% of air pollution results from energy used in homes. ENERGY STAR® homes use
significantly less energy, so you can feel good knowing you are doing your part for the environment.
Benefits of ENERGY STAR Qualified New Homes
PEACE OF MIND
Home buying is complex enough without having to know all the details of energy-efficient
construction. Instead, look for the government-backed ENERGY STAR label to easily identify
homes that are truly energy efficient. Find the house of your dreams and enjoy peace of mind
knowing that it also meets strict energy efficiency guidelines.
LOWER OWNERSHIP COST
Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR qualified homes use substantially less energy for
heating, cooling, and water heating-delivering $400 - $1,000 in annual savings. Over the average 7
to 8 years you may live in your home, this adds up to thousands of dollars saved on utility bills.
Additional savings on maintenance can also be substantial.
BETTER PERFORMANCE
Properly installed energy-efficient improvements deliver better protection against cold, heat, drafts,
moisture, pollution, and noise. An energy-efficient home helps ensure consistent temperatures
between and across rooms, improved indoor air quality, and greater durability.
SMART INVESTMENT
To date, over 2,500 home builders have partnered with EPA to construct more than 500,000
ENERGY STAR qualified homes. By the end of the decade, more than 2 million homes are expected
to earn the ENERGY STAR. The trend is clear. By choosing a home with the ENERGY STAR label,
you can be confident that it will have an increasingly valued feature when the time comes to sell.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Did you know that your home can be a greater source of pollution than your car? In fact, 16 percent
of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are generated from the energy used in houses nationwide.
Energy used in our homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which
contributes to smog, acid rain, and global warming. Simply put, the less energy we use in our homes,
the less air pollution we generate.
