An ENERGY STAR® house plan goes beyond normal blueprints to include information for building the house to a higher level of efficiency—these homes use about 30% fewer resources compared to regular homes. The extra information is based on where you live, so the instructions will vary if you're building in Texas versus Iowa or anywhere else. Make sure to select the ENERGY STAR® Approved add-on when you purchase plans to get the energy-saving details for your area!
If you're trying to live a more eco-friendly life, reduce your environmental impact, and slash regular expenses like your heating bill, an ENERGY STAR® house plan can help you reach your goals. In the day to day, they're also more comfortable than others due to better daylighting and insulation that prevents draftiness. You may even get rebates and tax breaks, so check with your local building department!
Just make sure to select the ENERGY STAR® Approved option in the add-ons section when you choose your plan package, foundation, etc. This will give you the information needed to build the house to ENERGY STAR® standards wherever you live. Follow the instructions, invest in efficient finishes, and you'll have a great home that keeps your expenses low for years to come!
