energy star partner

Homeway Homes, a builder of modular homes in Deer Creek , Illinois , has been named an Energy Star Partner by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy. Energy Star qualified homes are independently verified to be at least 30% more energy efficient than homes built to the 1993 national Model Energy Code or 15% more efficient than state energy code, whichever is more rigorous. Homeway Homes is the only downstate Illinois builder to be certified 100% Energy Star compliant.

“Homeway Homes is proud to display the Energy Star Partner label,” says Homeway Homes President Brian Schieler, “and what’s more, we’re happy to be leading downstate Illinois in providing environmentally responsible living.”

At the heart of the Homeway Homes’ Energy Star compliance is Energy Strength, a ground-breaking insulation system that not only seals the home for energy conservation purposes, but also strengthens it from a structural standpoint.

Energy Star is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. It identifies new homes and more than 40 types of products that are energy efficient and offer the features, quality, and personal comfort that today’s consumers expect. Products that can earn the Energy Star include appliances, lighting, home office equipment, consumer electronics, and heating and cooling equipment.

The Energy Star label on a Homeway Home means that it is significantly more efficient than a standard home. By purchasing an Energy Star qualified Homeway Home, you can have all the features you desire in your new home, plus lower utility bills. And you will help reduce air pollution. Last year alone, Americans with the help of ENERGY STAR saved enough energy to power 20 million homes and reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 18 million cars, while saving $9 billion in energy costs.
