2015 ENERGY STAR Certified New Homes Market Share

new homes & apartments

A new home or apartment that has earned the ENERGY STAR label has undergone a process of inspections, testing, and verification to meet strict requirements set by the US EPA. ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments use significantly less energy than typical new homes and apartments while delivering better comfort, quality, and durability.

The map and tables below provide a state-level breakdown of the market share for ENERGY STAR certified new homes. The map compares the number of site-built, single-family ENERGY STAR certified new homes to the number of new, privately-owned, one unit homes permitted in each state and the District of Columbia, adjusted for housing completions. Each state’s market share is a measurement of ENERGY STAR’s presence in the site-built, single-family new homes market for that state and does not measure any other energy efficiency efforts within the state. ENERGY STAR, in partnership with stakeholders, achieved a national market share in the new homes sector of 10 percent in 2015.
