Every Daybreak home is an Energy Star home

We see a lower energy bill, a healthier indoors and a happier planet

Compared to the typical home built to state code, an Energy Star home:

• Saves $200 - $400 in utility bills every year.
• Increases indoor air quality for a healthier home (and a healthier family).
• Decreases greenhouse gas emissions by several tons.

What it takes for a home to be Energy Star rated

The Energy Star label may look friendly, but it's one tough little sticker to get on a home. To be Energy Star certified, a home has to meet a strict set of guidelines and be verified by an independent energy rater. If the home scores a minimum 86 points on the National Home Energy Rating Scale, it is Energy Star-rated and is certified to be at least 30% more energy efficient than a non-Energy Star home. There are a number of features that a builder can include to achieve the Energy Star standard. Ask your favorite Daybreak builder which features they offer...

• Enhanced sealing package, which minimizes air leakage from walls and ceilings.
• High-performance insulation, which reduces heat transfer in winter and summer.
• Sealed/insulated ductwork, which make the most of your heating and cooling.
• High-efficiency furnaces, which require a lot less energy to heat your home.
• Programmable thermostats, which let you heat and cool the home only when needed.
• Compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use 66% less power than standard bulbs.
• Energy Star appliances, which save energy, water and money.
