Which Version of the Guidelines Should I Use?
ENERGY STAR for New Homes helps homebuyers easily identify homes that are significantly more energy efficient than standard construction in the marketplace. As code requirements have become more rigorous and builder practices have become more efficient, EPA has periodically modified the guidelines to ensure that certified homes represent a meaningful improvement over non-labeled homes.
The ENERGY STAR for Homes Version 3 guidelines are currently being phased in. You can learn more about the transition and determine which version to use for a particular home by visiting the Transition Timeline.
EPA has developed an alternative set of guidelines for manufactured homes built to the HUD code and multifamily high rise buildings.
