We offer the home energy excellence program for builders. As a home buyer, purchasing a Home Energy Excellence home has many benefits to you. These homes were built with energy efficiency in mind and will help you save energy and money for many years.
Requirements
A home receiving Home Energy Excellence certification must have:
- Exceeded our energy-efficiency guidelines, which are higher than the Minnesota energy code.
- High-efficiency natural gas furnace.
