What is a 5 Star Home?
A Home Energy Rating indicates the energy efficiency of a new or existing house. A computer software program is used to model a home's energy usage and compare the home's energy performance against the best performance possible for that structure. Ratings are 1-100 points and 1-5 stars. A Five Star rating qualifies a house for the Energy Star designation.
