How Families Qualify Where We Build
ENERGY STAR 3.0 Certified
- Certified by an Energy Auditor
- HVAC System efficiency tested
- No air penetrations
- All electrical and plumbing fixtures meet ENERGY STAR and WaterSense® standards

*Includes the attic, so entire house is treated as conditioned space.
This increases construction costs, but the energy and cost savings for our
Habitat families is measurable and significant.
