Stone Cottage Construction homes feature Energy Star® appliances and windows.
ENERGY STAR is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program that encourages individuals to save money and protect our climate through superior energy efficiency. Introduced in 1992, ENERGY STAR is designed to identify and promote energy-efficient products to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Installing ENERGY STAR certified products lowers costs. For example, in a typical home, replacing single-pane windows with ENERGY STAR windows may save hundreds of dollars AND thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide.
