ENERGY STAR Partner

Features of our ENERGY STAR qualified new homes include:

  • Effective Insulation — Our properly installed ENERGY-STRENGTH Spray Foam Insulation meets or exceeds national code requirements and helps achieve even temperatures throughout the house while using less energy. The result is lower utility costs and a quieter, more comfortable home.
  • High-Performance Windows — Advanced window coatings help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. They also block damaging ultraviolet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furniture.
  • Tight Construction and Tight Ducts — Attention to detail by sealing all holes, cracks, and seams in ducts and construction assemblies helps eliminate drafts, moisture, dust, pests, and pollen. This improves comfort and the quality of indoor air, while lowering maintenance costs.
  • Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment — More efficient and properly sized heating and cooling systems use less energy, which reduces utility bills. These systems also turn on and off less frequently, removing more humidity and providing better comfort.

"Homeway Homes is proud to display the ENERGY STAR Partner label," says Homeway Homes President Brian Schieler, "and what's more, we're happy to be leading downstate Illinois in providing environmentally responsible living."

At the heart of the Homeway Homes' ENERGY STAR compliance is Energy Strength, a ground-breaking insulation system that not only seals the home for energy conservation purposes, but also strengthens it from a structural standpoint.

ENERGY STAR is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. It identifies new homes and more than 40 types of products that are energy efficient and offer the features, quality, and personal comfort that today's consumers expect. Products that can earn the ENERGY STAR include appliances, lighting, home office equipment, consumer electronics, and heating and cooling equipment.

The ENERGY STAR label on a Homeway Home means that it is significantly more efficient than a standard home. By purchasing an ENERGY STAR qualified Homeway Home, you can have all the features you desire in your new home, plus lower utility bills. And you will help reduce air pollution. Last year alone, Americans with the help of ENERGY STAR saved enough energy to power 20 million homes and reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 18 million cars, while saving $9 billion in energy costs.
