Did you know Turning Point Builders is an Energy Star partner? We joined last year and plan to build all homes from now on at minimum of Energy Star qualifications. Go to http://www.energystar.gov/ to get additional information.
Basically, an Energy Star home is built to be 15% more energy efficient than a standard code built home. One of the main benefits you can expect is lower ownership cost. Energy Star qualified homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and water heating-saving you hundreds of dollars annually. Depending on how long you live in your home, this adds up to thousands of dollars saved on utility bills.
