Performance Testing

While many builders claim to build “energy-efficient” homes, only builders of New York ENERGY STAR homes can prove it. New York ENERGY STAR homes must pass a stringent evaluation, including computer-based energy analysis, inspections, and certification testing. Only those homes that meet high-efficiency standards are certified as New York ENERGY STAR.
