When you purchase a Moline Builders home you don't have to guess at the energy efficiency of your home because each home is tested, by a third party, per Energy Star specifications and given a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score. The lower the HERS score, the more energy efficient the home is!
Ask prospective Builders: What HERS score do your homes receive? Builders should be able to answer this question.
We know our numbers and are proud of them!

By using less energy for heating, cooling, and water heating, Energy Star certified homes deliver approximately 20% savings on annual utility bills.
-
In Energy Star certified homes, comfort is ensured with consistent temperatures between and across rooms; indoor air quality is enhanced by reducing dust, pollen, bugs, and excessive humidity; and durability is improved with comprehensive water protection and windows block damaging sunlight.

The energy used in our homes often comes from burning of fossil fuels at power plants. So, by using less energy to operate, Energy Star certified homes help to prevent air pollution-an added benefit for today's environmentally-conscious consumer looking for "green" choices.
Our best ever HERS score in 2016. An impressive “32” from Resnet.
Energy Star certified new homes are designed and built so that all energy efficiency systems and features work together to deliver better performance. Better energy efficiency and performance means lower utility and maintenance costs. Energy Star Certified homes and apartments are at least 10% more energy efficient than homes built to code and achieve a 20% improvement on average, and even more when compared to most resale homes on the market today. A new home that has earned the Energy Star label has undergone a process of inspections, testing, and verification to meet strict requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), delivering better quality, better comfort, and better durability.
