ENERGY EFFICIENCY


Stonegate Model-Windsor Colorado

A Home Energy Rating

A home energy rating is a method used to measure the overall energy efficiency performance of a home. This analysis, rated on a scale from 1 to 100, allows consumers to compare the efficiencies of a new home. It allows homeowners to see their energy savings, and thus cost savings, over a new built-to-code home.

 

The benefit:

An 85 point Home Energy Rating Score is 15% above the energy efficiency of a home built to code. Therefore, Built Green Homes have a 15% better energy performance than homes built to code.


Low-E Windows

The benefits of Low-E windows are:

  • Significant heating and cooling savings

  • More efficient than average new windows

  • Improves comfort

  • Minimal condensation

  • Helps shield floors, furniture and fabric against fading

Sealed Combustion 92% Efficient Furnace

The benefits of a sealed combustion air 92% efficient furnace are:

  • Energy Star qualified furnaces which have an efficiency rating of 90% or greater are 15% more efficient than standard models.

  • These furnaces are designed to extract the most heat out of every heating dollar.

  • You will save up to 24% in energy costs.

  • A "sealed combustion" unit prevents the potential for back drafting flue gases into the home, resulting in better indoor air quality and safety.

Sealed Combustion Fireplace

  • Prevents back-drafting of carbon monoxide and other by products into the conditioned space resulting in better indoor air quality and safety.

  • Aesthetic benefit of a fireplace without the inefficiency and pollution caused by a wood burning fireplace.
