We’re the largest custom home builder in Texas to comply with, and exceed, the national ENERGY STAR® program on every single home we build. The most hailed energy efficiency program in the nation, ENERGY STAR® is a voluntary national program developed by the U.S. Department of Energy to help consumers identify a benchmark for energy efficient residential construction. The ENERGY STAR® program treats a home as a system. The components of windows, insulation, orientation, heating and air conditioning, and structural tightness, are all evaluated, inspected and certified to meet stringent requirements set by the program.

A 30% Savings on Utility Bills
ENERGY STAR® homes make it possible for Homeowners to save money each month on utility bills and maintenance costs. As an ENERGY STAR® Homeowner, your utility bills may be reduced by as much as 30% each month, a significant savings when you consider the true cost of a home is not its “sticker” price but what it costs you to own and operate it every month.

Solid Construction
ENERGY STAR® homes are more tightly constructed and contain high efficiency heating and air conditioning equipment, more insulation, tighter ducts, energy-efficient windows, and more tightly sealed against
heat transfer from hot walls, drafts, noise, dust, and pollen.

Comfort and Quiet
Tighter construction and improved insulation help keep out excess heat, cold and noise while maintaining consistent temperatures from room to room. Individual air returns allow air to circulate so you can keep bedroom doors closed for privacy.

Healthier Indoor Air
Energy Star® homes have better sealed ducts which help keep dust, pollen, mold, radon, and carbon monoxide out, so you can breathe easier. Design Tech Homes include a Box Media Air Cleaner (.3 micron) and Germicidal Ultraviolet Light that kills airborne bacteria to improve air quality. Fresh air intake and exhausts installed in your home provide the proper mixture of outside air filtering for fresh air and exhausting the stale air in your home.

A Better Environment
Almost 20% of air pollution results from energy used in homes. ENERGY STAR® homes use significantly less energy, so you can feel good knowing you are doing your part for the environment.
