The Environments for Living^SM program helps builders like us design homes that are more durable, comfortable and energy efficient. Based on the EPA's ENERGY STAR program, it uses the basic principles of building science and new green building techniques to set program standards on energy efficiency. The program requires specific design standards for heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, ductwork and the outer shell that surrounds your living area.

Guarantees your energy usage for three years. If your heating and cooling bills exceed the guaranteed usage for your home, 100% of the difference will be refunded.

Meets the Nationally recognized ENERGY STAR standards for energy efficient homes.

Requires Carbon Monoxide detectors inside the home to monitor for dangerous leaks in your living space.
