How a Product Earns the ENERGY STAR label:
ENERGY STAR is the trusted, government-backed symbol for energy efficiency, helping us all to save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices.
The ENERGY STAR label was established to:
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy! Make it easy for consumers to identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sacrificing performance, features and comfort.
Energy Efficiency
By Carrier homes are some of the highest Energy Efficient homes in the area.
Home buyers are becoming increasingly interested in green building, energy efficiency and the impact on the planet because the energy used in homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants. This contributes to smog, acid rain and other risks of global warming. Therefore, the less energy used, the less air pollution generated.
An ENERGY SMART home can include a variety of ‘tried-and-true’ energy-efficient features that contribute to improved home quality and homeowner comfort, and to lower energy demand and reduced air pollution.
