Home Energy Performance
A New York ENERGY STAR labeled
home uses approximately 30%
less energy than conventionally
built homes.
These savings come from a variety of energy-saving
features, including increased insulation, high-performance
windows and doors, high-efficiency heating and cooling
systems, and energy-saving appliances and lighting.
New York ENERGY STAR labeled
homes are “performance tested.”
As part of the program, each New York ENERGY STAR
labeled home must pass a stringent evaluation, including
a computer-based energy analysis, inspections, and
certification testing. Only those homes that meet high efficiency
guidelines are certified as New York ENERGY
STAR labeled homes. While many builders claim to build “energy-efficient” homes,
only builders of New York ENERGY STAR labeled homes can prove it.
A New York ENERGY STAR labeled home is safer, healthier
and more comfortable. New York ENERGY STAR labeled homes are warm in
the winter, cool in the summer, and free from unpleasant drafts. These
homes are also tested to ensure that no harmful gasses are in the home.
You’ll see real savings with a New
York ENERGY STAR labeled home.
Every part of a New York ENERGY STAR labeled home is
designed to save energy so you save money. Even if your
initial investment is slightly higher, you’ll see monthly
savings thanks to lower energy use. It’s an investment that
will continue to pay back for as long as you own your home.
Building a New York ENERGY STAR
labeled home doesn’t have to
cost more.
If you choose to incorporate additional energy-saving
measures and equipment, the incremental cost could be
applied to your mortgage. The money you save in lower
energy costs can more than pay for the difference in
additional mortgage costs, giving you a positive cash flow
from the day you move in. Or you can take those savings
and invest in other amenities for your new home, like
hardwood floors, upgraded kitchen cabinets, or even a
deck. The energy savings give you greater buying power.
The New York ENERGY STAR Labeled Homes Program is
developed under the New York Energy $martSM program
and is sponsored by the New York State Energy Research
and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
