energy starENERGY STAR certified new homes are designed and built to standards well above most other homes on the market today, delivering energy efficiency savings of up to 30 percent when compared to typical new homes. A new home that has earned the ENERGY STAR label has undergone a process of inspections, testing, and verification to meet strict requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), delivering better quality, better comfort, and better durability.

Living Stone is a certified energy star partner which means that we certify every home we build Energy Star. Many builders say they build to Energy Star guidelines but unless they receive the certification there is no accountability to prove it.
