About the Program
The New Jersey ENERGY STAR Homes program is designed to recognize builders of energy-efficient homes by helping them increase their profits and customer satisfaction while contributing to a cleaner environment.
What is an ENERGY STAR Home?
Built with energy-efficient systems and measures, a New Jersey ENERGY STAR Home is certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be between 15-35% more energy efficient than a standard home. That means you'll enjoy greater year-round comfort, quality, and savings on your energy bills for years to come. Best of all, any builder is eligible to participate in the program.
