ENERGY STAR® | It's what's inside that counts.

As part of our initiative to Build Greener, Capoferro has made the commitment to build every new Capoferro home to be ENERGY STAR® Qualified.

Sometimes it's what you can't see that's most important!  As an ENERGY STAR qualified builder, our homes will be over 30% more energy efficient than homes built to the minimum code requirements.  These new homes are independently verified by a third-party Home Energy Rater to ensure they meet ENERGY STAR® energy efficiency guidelines.

ENERGY STAR® qualified homes are only  built by licensed ENERGY STAR® builders who incorporate resource efficient features into the home to reduce heating, electricity, and water use. Sit back and enjoy the comfort, lower utility costs, and peace of mind that come from building a home that is better for you and the environment.

Capoferro has begun the process of becoming  a licensed ENERGY STAR® qualified builder.  You can take comfort in knowing that your home uses less heating energy, less electricity and less water than other new homes built to conventional standards.

What Makes a Home ENERGY STAR®?

Effective Insulation

 Properly installed and inspected insulation in floors, walls, and attics ensures even temperatures throughout the house, reduced energy use, and increased comfort.

High-Performance Windows

 Energy-efficient windows employ advanced technologies, such as protective coatings and improved frames, to help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. These windows also block damaging ultraviolet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furnishings.

Tight Construction and Ducts

 Sealing holes and cracks in the home's "envelope" and in heating and cooling duct systems helps reduce drafts, moisture, dust, pollen, and noise. A tightly sealed home improves comfort and indoor air quality while reducing utility and maintenance.

Efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment

 In addition to using less energy to operate, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems can be quieter, reduce indoor humidity, and improve the overall comfort of the home. When properly installed into a tightly sealed home, this equipment won't have to work so hard to heat and cool the home.

Efficient Products

 ENERGY STAR® qualified homes may also be equipped with ENERGY STAR® qualified products — lighting fixtures, compact fluorescent bulbs, ventilation fans, and appliances, such as refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines.

Third-Party Verification

 With the help of independent Home Energy Raters, ENERGY STAR® builder partners choose the most appropriate energy-saving features for their homes. Additionally, raters conduct onsite testing and inspections to verify the energy efficiency measures, as well as insulation, air tightness, and duct sealing details.

There are many benefits to owning an ENERGY STAR® qualified home such as lower utilities costs, comfort in know that your home exceeds minimum building code requirements and most importantly, you are reducing our energy needs and building a cleaner environment for the future.
