| How
to become a Utah Energy Star® Homes Program Builder
Introduction:
Contact Energy Rated Homes of Utah
for details specific to your area and location. The staff of Energy Rated Homes of Utah
will work with you and your subcontractors on each individual
house that you want to build to make sure that the home meets
the Energy Star® Homes Program
standards. These highly trained energy specialists will perform
an in-depth whole house inspection and test of your home for energy
efficiency, air tightness, design, and even duct tightness upon
completion. When the house meets the Utah Energy
Star Homes Program standards (a score of 85 points out
of 100 and a 5 Star HERS Rating) an Energy Star®
label is obtained to display on the electrical box, and Energy
Star®
certificate can be displayed prominently inside the home.
Sign
the Partnership Agreements:
You will need to sign an Energy Star®
Homes Program/Energy Star partnership Agreement (located on our
“How To Participate” section of this web-site) so
you can market your home as a Energy Star®
Home. As soon as we receive your agreements, you will be included
on this web-site and provided additional information specific
to the Energy Star® Homes Program and selective
marketing opportunities related to it. Fax these agreements to
Cris Peterson at 801.765.1976.
Build
Your First Utah Energy Star Homes Program House:
To become an official Energy Star® Homes
Program Builder (which includes being listed on the utahenergystarhomes.org
website and access to co-marketing programs) you must first have
completed one certified House. To maintain your listing on the
web-site (and to remain ‘active’ in the eyes of the
EPA Energy Star® Homes Program) you must
build a minimum of 1 Energy Star® Home every
twelve months.
Merchandise
and Market Your Participation:
You can realize substantial rewards when you co-brand your homes
with Energy Star®. You convey to potential
homebuyers in your area that you are a quality builder who has
an advantage in your market area. Utilize our marketing support
to help you merchandise your Energy Star®
