NJ ENERGY STAR Homes Features
Want to save some green? Start with New Jersey ENERGY STAR Homes builders.
When choosing your new home, make sure the blue ENERGY STAR tops your list of "must haves". High-performance heating and cooling, energy-efficient windows, and tighter construction add up to a quieter, more comfortable home that is independently verified to use less energy, save money, and help protect the environment.
Buying a new home today is more complex than ever, so to make sure a home is truly energy-efficient, just look for the government-backed ENERGY STAR label. An ENERGY STAR qualified home can help you save about $200 to $400 a year on utility bills, adding up to thousands of dollars over the years you live in the home.
Find out the benefits of having an ENERGY STAR home.
While eligible homes/buildings to be registered in the New Jersey ENERGY STAR Homes program can be located anywhere in New Jersey, financial incentives are only available for eligible homes/buildings located in State designated "SmartGrowth" areas (defined as Planning Areas I & II and Designated Centers).
New Jersey ENERGY STAR Homes also features New Jersey Climate Choice Home. A Climate Choice Home incorporates the features of an ENERGY STAR certified home in addition to the benefits of solar energy, which results in "near-zero" energy use. Please note participation in NJ Climate Choice Home is limited to homes/projects located in State designated "SmartGrowth" areas (defined as Planning Areas I & II and Designated Centers). Call 866-NJSMART or send an e-mail.
