New homes earn the ENERGY STAR designation by meeting rigorous energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  In 2006, 12% of all new housing starts nationally were ENERGY STAR qualified. In many areas, ENERGY STAR homes represent 20% or more of local home starts.
