GREEN BUILDING

The High Country Conservation Center has partnered with the Governor's Energy Office (GEO) for the ENERGY STAR New Homes Program.

ENERGY STAR qualified homes are independently verified to meet rigorous guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. EPA. With ENERGY STAR, you get all the features you expect, plus a quieter, more comfortable home and lower utility bills. At the same time, you’ll be helping to reduce greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change.

HC3 is now an Energy Star Partner and offering a full line of services for Home Energy Ratings. This includes Energy Star Certification for new homes.

For more information, please contact HC3's Energy Programs Manager, Jon Kinstad at jon@highcountryconservation.org or 970-485-3509. Find out about HC3's Energy Audit Program here.
