Find out how you can be part of Michigan Build! ENERGY STAR homes and show your customers the quality they'll receive.
Modeled after the national ENERGY STAR Homes program, Michigan Build! ENERGY STAR Homes distinguishes itself by adhering to strict quality standards and attention to detail during every facet of construction. The Michigan Build! ENERGY STAR Homes program requires stringent building standards that result, on average, in homes that are 25 percent more efficient than a home built to Michigan's Residential Code. These standards also result in improved moisture control and indoor air quality.
A home is awarded Michigan Build! ENERGY STAR Homes certification only after multiple on-site visits conducted by an independent third-party consultant, including a final performance test. Such certification assures homeowners that their new homes are comfortable, durable, safe and energy efficient. Michigan Build! ENERGY STAR Homes feature enhanced indoor air quality, added safety features, draft-free construction, added durability, control of indoor moisture and condensation, better resale value, and greater energy efficiency, which means lower energy bills.
