Study: Energy Star Standards Save New Homeowners 52 Percent Over Standard New Construction
A study of 30 Michigan homes built in 2005 to Energy Star standards shows significant energy reduction.
The homes were built as part of Habitat for Humanity's Jimmy Carter Work project. The WARM Training Center consulted with the Habitat for Humanity of Detroit to review their home designs and train the construction crew. After completion, the homes were certified as Energy Star homes.
