ENERGY STAR Residential New Construction Partner
Energy Auditing Co. is proud to be an official ENERGY STAR Residential New Construction Partner, serving builders and developers throughout Clark County, Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Mesquite, and Pahrump, Nevada. As an approved QAA and certified third-party inspection agency, we provide the independent testing and verification that new homes need to earn the ENERGY STAR label — one of the most recognized marks of energy efficiency in the country.
What Is ENERGY STAR Certification for New Homes?
ENERGY STAR certified homes are required to meet strict energy efficiency standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. To earn certification, a new home must be independently tested and verified by a qualified third-party partner — that's where we come in. Energy Auditing Co. performs the on-site energy testing required as part of the ENERGY STAR certification process, including blower door testing, duct leakage testing, and building thermal envelope testing. Every test we conduct is documented and completed to EPA program requirements.
What ENERGY STAR Means for Your Buyers
When a home earns the ENERGY STAR label, buyers get more than a sticker. ENERGY STAR certified homes are built to be at least 10% more energy efficient than homes constructed to minimum code levels, with features like a well-sealed thermal envelope, high-performance windows, quality insulation, and high-efficiency heating and cooling systems. Buyers benefit from lower utility bills, improved indoor comfort, better air quality, and a home built to a higher standard. Studies also indicate that ENERGY STAR certified homes can command a sales price premium, making certification a strong selling point for your listings.
What ENERGY STAR Means for Builders
Partnering with Energy Auditing Co. for ENERGY STAR certification gives your builds a verified, third-party-backed quality advantage. Builders who construct ENERGY STAR certified homes may also be eligible for the federal §45L Energy Efficient Home Tax Credit — a significant financial incentive available for qualifying new construction. Our team works efficiently alongside your construction timeline to complete required energy testing without slowing your project down.
