Residential New Construction

Residential New Construction

Build in energy efficiency from the ground up.

Your new home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. Invest wisely—in an energy-efficient home, which can reduce annual utility costs by 15 percent or more. Energy-efficient homes are built to meet stricter requirements than standard building codes. And those savings can really add up over the lifetime of a 30-year mortgage.

But savings are just the beginning. An energy-efficient new home also gives you:

Enhanced indoor comfort + Lasting value + Improved air quality + Durability + Safety
