A Maryland Home Performance with ENERGY STAR project can provide:
Utility bill savings
- Homes that have been upgraded through Home Performance
with ENERGY STAR cost significantly less to heat and cool.
- Home energy savings range from 10-40%.
Fewer drafts and consistent temperatures across
rooms
- Foaming, caulking and weatherstripping, adding
insulation, or replacing windows can help to eliminate uncomfortable
cold spots and overheated rooms
- Many homeowners also report reduced dust in
their homes after completing Home Performance with ENERGY STAR
projects
Better ventilation and humidity control
- Sealing air leaks and installing right-sized,
energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment can dramatically
increase the feeling of comfort in your home and can help to control
the development of mold
Environmental Benefits of Saving Energy
- Most energy in our homes comes from the burning
of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas) that produce greenhouse gases
- By saving energy you're helping make the most
of our nation’s energy resources and reducing emissions of greenhouse
gases
- A modest 20% energy savings in the typical Maryland home will save 6,350 pounds of CO2, the equivalent to taking half of a car off the road.
