What can Kelly Green Energy Raters do for you? We can fulfill many of your home energy performance and green rating verification needs.
ENERGY STAR® Homes Certification
Are you looking to build a home that is 20% to 30% more energy-efficient than a conventional U.S. home? If so, look no further than ENERGY STAR.
We are proud to provide rating services to qualify new homes for the ENERGY STAR® label. ENERGY STAR qualified new homes are substantially more energy efficient than homes built to the minimum code requirements. Even in states with more rigorous energy codes, the U.S. EPA ensures that ENERGY STAR remains the symbol for truly energy-efficient performance. These homes are good for businesses, consumers, and the environment.
