To earn the ENERGY STAR, a home must meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These homes are at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to the 2004 International Residential Code (IRC), and include additional energy-saving features that typically make them 20–30% more efficient than standard homes. Go Green, NM can provide you with alternative UA compliance using ResCheck required by some NM local building codes.

How?

There are two types of ratings:

Projected Rating – Ratings performed prior to the construction of a home or prior to the installation of energy improvements to an existing home.
Confirmed Rating – Ratings completed using data gathered from an on-site inspection, which could include performance testing of the home.
