When planning for new construction, there is a lot you can do to make your home sustainable, energy efficient and green. OPALCO is committed to helping members to achieve energy efficiency by providing information on best practices and the highest standards. The best resource for building a new home is through the Energy Star website. Each Energy Star qualified home can keep up to 4,500 lbs of greenhouse gases out of our air each year. And because homes have such long life spans, this environmental benefit lasts for many, many years.
Every green feature, element and system that you can include will make a difference – for your energy bills, the environment and energy load management into the future.
