ENERGY STAR® New Homes

This program connects you with resources to build a truly efficient new home.

The ENERGY STAR New Homes (ESNH) Program provides incentives for builders to build homes that exceed local energy code requirements for energy efficiency by at least 10%. Homes must be evaluated by a RESNET accredited Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Rater. HERS Raters help builders achieve energy savings by providing plan review analysis and on-site verification throughout the construction process.

Benefits:

  • Cut energy costs up to 20% or more.
  • Experience fewer maintenance concerns.
  • Benefit from healthier indoor air quality.
  • Enjoy a more comfortable and quieter home.
  • Gain higher resale value.

Eligibility

You must be a natural gas or electric customer of Xcel Energy in Minnesota and be enrolled in this program prior to the start of construction.

Energy Saving Tip
