Building a new home is a major investment. The Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes Program can help you make the most of that investment with a high-performance home that saves energy and money. Our construction partners are trained to help you build a home that's safer, more comfortable and built to last.

Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes are:
  • Built better. Proven standards ensure superior insulation, ventilation, combustion safety and moisture control.
  • More energy efficient. Estimated to be 25 percent more efficient than homes built to the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code.
  • Tested and certified. Our homes' high performance is verified by third-party consultants.
Plus, when you buy a Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Home, you get the added benefit of knowing you're helping preserve Wisconsin's environment. Less energy used means fewer environmental effects on our air, water and land.

To date, more than 350 builders have partnered with Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes to certify over 10,000 homes across the state.
