Beazer Homes earns award for protecting the
environment through superior energy efficiency
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has named Beazer
Homes as a 2014 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for its outstanding
contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through building
ENERGY STAR homes. Beazer Homes’ accomplishments will be recognized
in Washington, D.C. on April 29, 2014.
Beazer Homes, an ENERGY STAR partner since 2011, is being
honored for its work in building new homes that meet ENERGY STAR
requirements for energy efficiency.
Every Beazer home has built-in energy efficiencies that save
money in heating and cooling costs. In fact, all Beazer homes
exceed ENERGY STAR® ratings that minimize utility bills.
“Beazer Homes takes pride in building our homes to meet or
exceed ENERGY STAR requirements,” said Allan Merrill, President and
CEO, Beazer Homes. “ENERGY STAR homes are more comfortable and
ensure meaningful savings for our customers on their energy bills,
while reducing our impact on the environment.”
“EPA recognizes Beazer Homes for their leadership in verifying
new homes that meet ENERGY STAR specifications,” said EPA Deputy
Administrator Bob Perciasepe. “Homebuyers choose ENERGY STAR
certified homes for greater energy efficiency and comfort. Home
Energy Raters like Beazer Homes make it easy for homebuyers to
identify and choose these homes.”
The 2014 Partner of the Year Awards are given to a variety of
organizations to recognize their contributions to reducing
greenhouse gas emissions through superior energy efficiency. Award
winners are selected from the 16,000 organizations that participate
in the ENERGY STAR program.
ENERGY STAR certified new homes use substantially less energy
for heating, cooling, and water heating; in fact, homeowners who
buy ENERGY STAR certified homes can expect to use 15-30% less
energy than a typical new home. Currently, over 2,700 home builders
across the nation are constructing homes that meet EPA’s strict
requirements for energy efficiency. More than 1.5 million American
families now live in ENERGY STAR certified homes.
Through 2013, with help from ENERGY STAR, American families and
businesses have saved $297 billion on utility bills and prevented
more than 2.1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
