Your Focus on Energy Building Performance Consultant will make sure your home meets the highest standards for energy efficiency, combustion safety, comfort, and durability—ensuring your dream home is a sound investment. In addition to a more energy-efficient home, you will also enjoy other benefits, including:

• Dedicated Builders – Focus on Energy rewards builders for constructing homes to be as efficient as possible, so you know your new home will be built to save energy for years to come.
  
  
• Lower Energy Bills – A Focus on Energy Certified New Home is at least 30% more efficient than homes built to code, which means higher performance and lower energy costs.

• Comfort – Reducing exterior air infiltration provides superior indoor air quality, minimizes drafts, and improves comfort. Sealed combustion equipment and carbon monoxide detectors ensure combustion safety and whole-house ventilation provides proper air circulation.
  
  
• Proof of Quality – Your Building Performance Consultant conducts two site visits to review construction and overall performance. Testing is done to ensure the proper performance of the air sealing, insulation, ventilation and combustion equipment. Your Building Performance Consultant will then certify your new home.
  
  
• Resale Advantage – A Focus on Energy New Home Certification adds resale value if you decide to put your home on the market.
