About ENERGY STAR

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. With the help of ENERGY STAR, Americans in 2005 have saved enough energy to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 23 million cars — all while saving $12 billion on their utility bills.

What is USGBC?
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is a non-profit organization with more than 10,500 member organizations and 75 regional chapters. These members consist of individuals from every division in the building industry with a common goal of transforming the building industry to sustainability. This means to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. The members of USGBC are responsible for creating a nationally recognized rating system for the development of high performance, sustainable buildings. This program is the LEED Green Building Rating System.

What is LEED®?
LEED is short for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System™. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. This is a voluntary program for builders and homeowners which give them the tools needed to have a measurable and immediate impact on their building. Builders can also receive LEED certification by registering their project which recognizes and rewards them for voluntarily meeting high performance building standards. The building project receives credits based on certain prerequisites in each rated category. Projects are awarded Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum certification depending on the number of credits they receive. This comprehensive approach is the reason LEED-certified buildings have reduced operating costs, healthier and more productive occupants, and conserve our natural resources.

Why Build Green?
A Green Built Home helps save money, protect our natural resources, and improve your family’s health, safety and comfort. The concept of “green building” is becoming known simply as good building.

What is Green Building?
Green building refers to measures that can be taken to make a home or other building healthier, safer, more comfortable, more durable, energy efficient, and environmentally responsible. The concept of “green building” was developed during the aftermath of the energy crisis of the 1970s and the occurrence of “sick building syndrome” in the 1980s and 1990s. Green building has come to represent an entire systems approach to issues such as poor indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and natural resource depletion. Some green building features may cost more in the beginning but future savings in reduced energy and maintenance costs.
