All of us believe in efficiency, whether it comes to work that we do or the work that our equipments at home do for us. The Home Star Program is a scheme announced to ensure that home owners and home buyers are conscious of the energy efficiencies of the homes they buy or build.
The first question that comes to our mind is what exactly does the Home Star Program mean, well here goes; The Home Star Program is a program that extends incentives to homeowners who commit to invest in making improvements to the energy efficiency of their homes, the Home star program ensures that homes achieve a certain level of energy efficient performance by assigning a third party energy rater who will assess and test each energy expenditure that the home incurs.
This is done when a home is being built or when the building under assessment is being retrofitted or revamped to meet The Home Star Program standards. The home star rater ensures improvements in different systems of the home including insulation, window performance, well constructed ducts, efficient cooling and heating devices, fitting of lighting and appliances that are Energy Star qualified.
This is achieved pretty efficiently as the energy star rater works in close association with the builder throughout the process of construction. In all the Home star program is a blessing that will ensure not just the efficiency of your home but also an increase in your savings; now that’s an incentive!
