ENERGY STAR Labeled Homes Builder Testimonials

See what New York builders are saying about ENERGY STAR® Labeled Homes.

Bob Gordon, President of Emmy Homes,
Smithtown, NY

"I've always had an interest in energy efficiency and our customers are looking for a sound
investment. The techniques that New York ENERGY STAR Labeled Homes provide are
important for the consumer and it's important for builders and contractors to make that available."

...................................................................................................................................................................................

Brooke Howard Greenhouse, Vice President of Cayuga Country Homes
Dryden, NY

"Most customers don't think much about energy efficiency but once they realize the benefits of an
energy efficient home, it sells itself. When customers see the money they save every month and
the fact that only New York ENERGY STAR Labeled Homes deliver on this promise, they won't
build a home with a contractor who builds projects that just meet code. It's one thing for a builder
to say 'I build energy-efficient homes,' but when a third party confirms that a home meets energy
efficiency standards and can prove it, then consumers can be confident."

Doug Godfrey, Architectural Designer for Belmonte Builders
Saratoga, NY

"The New York ENERGY STAR program speaks to quality construction and that is the hallmark
of Belmonte Builders. We educate our customers about the energy efficiency upgrades available
through New York ENERGY STAR Labeled Homes and encourage them to take advantage of
them. Many of them do particularly for the increased comfort, health and safety, in addition to the
energy savings.”

Paul Dahlkamp, Regional Cost Manager, Ryan Homes
