New Construction
Gain a competitive edge by building high-performance homes, such as a New York ENERGY STAR® Home or Green Residential Building Program. With incentives available from NYSERDA, these homes must meet higher energy and environmental standards. These homes combine quality construction materials with best practices to build beautiful homes that are cost-effective and have less impact on the environment.
New York ENERGY STAR Homes
New York ENERGY STAR Homes features reducted air leakages, increased insulation levels, high-performance windows, as well as energy-efficient heating, cooling, lighting and appliances. This makes for a home that is more comfortable and uses less energy than a conventionally-built home. Homeowners can save every year, reducing the cost of home ownership. Differentiate yourself in the marketplace by providing a superior product to your customers that uses less energy and is good for the environment, while earning valuable incentives.
Green Residential Building Program (up to 11- unit buildings)
Constructing certified green homes takes home construction to the next level of performance while providing owners and residents more comfortable homes that cost less to operate, last longer, and provide a healthier living environment. Green homes incorporate high-performance design, sustainable building materials, as well as the latest renewable and energy-efficient technologies.
As a builder of green homes, you will keep current with leading building techniques and gain valuable experience. Building green can give you a competitive edge in attracting customers while improving our environment as your buildings become more efficient, use less resources, and reduce their environmental impact.
