Energy Star® Homes Have Market Leg-up
A 2011 study by the North Carolina Energy Efficiency Alliance indicates that ENERGY STAR® homes have a leg-up in the market. The group looked at data in a five-county region around the North Carolina's greater Raleigh-Durham area. It compared a random sample of Energy Star Homes with home with no green certifications.
One key finding of the study: Energy Star Homes sold faster and for more money than those other properties.
