Builders

Colorado home builders are rolling up their sleeves and getting down to the business of improving the energy efficiency of homes, and thereby enjoying new benefits. These benefits include Energy Efficient Mortgages that allow buyers to buy more expensive homes, increased homeowner satisfaction, decreased callbacks, prestige throughout the homebuilder community, and higher profit margins.

Builders find the tools and resources of the E-Star program helpful in overcoming obstacles to creating energy-efficient, High Performance Homes. Builders can order an Energy Rating from Energy Raters that have been trained and certified by E-Star. E-Star technical professionals are a resource for energy-efficient construction issues, help builders contact industry specialists and other building programs, and advise methods of marketing and selling energy-efficient homes.
