ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the
environment through energy efficient products and practices.
Energy efficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill with
similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or
comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice.
Initiated by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), under the Department of
Energy, LEED for Homes is a voluntary rating system that promotes the design
and construction of high performance "green" homes. A green home uses less
energy, water, and natural resources; creates less waste; and is healthier and
more comfortable for the occupants. Benefits of a LEED home include lower
energy and water bills; reduced greenhouse gas emissions; and less exposure to
mold, mildew and other indoor toxins. The net cost of owning a LEED home is
comparable to that of owning a conventional home.
Green Homes Northeast (GHNE) is a collaborative program whose mission is to
transform the residential building marketplace so that healthy, energy and
resource-efficient homes become common practice.
