The House on May 6 approved H.R. 5019, the Home Star Energy Retrofit Act of 2010, by a bipartisan vote of 246 to 161. The legislation authorizes a $6 billion program that would provide home owners with up to $8,000 in rebates for retrofitting existing homes to make them more energy-efficient.

OUR HOMES PROVIDE:
SMART INVESTMENT
More than 725,000 ENERGY STAR qualified homes have been built across the country. By the end of the decade, more than 2 million homes are expected to earn the ENERGY STAR. The trend is clear. By choosing a home that has earned the ENERGY STAR label, you can be confident that your home will have an increasingly valued feature when the time comes to sell.
COMFORT AND QUIET
Properly installed energy efficiency features deliver better protection against cold, heat, drafts, moisture, pollution, and noise. Our ENERGY STAR qualified homes help to provide consistent
temperatures, improved indoor air quality, and greater durability.
LOWER MAINTENANCE
Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a low-maintenance home. Tight construction and long-lasting, efficient equipment make our homes more durable, helping to minimize many of the maintenance problems found in typical homes.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Buying an ENERGY STAR qualified home is a decision you can be proud of. Energy used in our homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which contributes to smog, acid rain, and global warming. By using less energy, your new ENERGY STAR qualified home helps to reduce the amount of air pollution generated.
THE GOVERNMENT BACKED ENERGY STAR LABEL
Home buying is complex enough without having to know all the details of energy-efficient construction. Instead, look for the ENERGY STAR label to easily identify homes that are truly energy efficient.
