How to Become Energy Star Certified
Energy Star is a building company that specializes in constructing energy efficient homes around the United States. It is a rapidly growing business that offers several different partnership and job opportunities. Energy Star partners with thousands of other independent builders who use Energy Star to provide their clients with new homes that are environmentally friendly. These builders, however, are required to get Energy Star certified before becoming a building partner for the company. Becoming Energy Star certified involves several steps that must be completed before certification, and requires training and supervision by Energy Star Home Rating officials. While the process is not short, builders who have completed it rave about the new opportunities they have gained as a result.
