a minimum, 30% better than a typical Colorado home. Energy Star qualified homes in Colorado
have passed stringent energy efficiency guidelines and standards established by the EPA
Energy Star Homes Program and are verified through a network of E-Star Energy Raters.
Energy Star builders in Colorado are committed to building comfortable, high quality,
energy-efficient homes that enable consumers to buy more home for the money. They also
enhance the overall value of a home.
Energy Star homes perform better than a typical
