Green Building, Energy & Water Efficiency

Thanks to more durable roof coverings, insulated windows, increased insulation, and high-efficiency heating, cooling, and water heating equipment, homes built today are 100% more energy-efficient than homes built in the 1970s. In the long-term, energy improvements can save you money and help protect the environment. Learn more about energy and your home in this section.
