Energy 65
Some Builders claim to build Energy efficient homes, but this doesn't mean that every house that
they build has been built to nationally recognized standards. BE CAREFUL!!!
Every Accent Homes is designed, built, tested and earns the Energy 65 plaque
that accompanies each home. The Energy 65 program is a 6 step process that ensures
that the home's design, materials, features, and construction give it the highest efficiency rating
possible.
All of our homes undergo a rigorous inspection process by an independent 3rd party tester. The
verification culminates with the "tightness test" that evaluates the effectiveness of the home's
envelope.
Please feel free to view the Energy Star Tour "Behind the Walls", describing the process and
detailing what makes a home Energy Star Certified.
