The ENERGY STAR for Homes program, is gaining momentum in the Carolinas! Bolstered by Duke Power's launch of their new local 5% utility rate discount for ENERGY STAR homes, the recently passed Federal Builder Tax Credit for energy upgrades, and consumer familiarity. Builders looking for a way to differentiate and market themselves are finding ENERGY STAR to be an excellent choice.
ENERGY STAR is a market based voluntary partnership between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and organizations including 2,500 of the nation's home builders promoting energy efficiency. Homes receiving ENERGY STAR certification are significantly more energy efficient and healthier.
High Country Energy Solutions will work with your design and construction teams to help you build better homes and a better business.
