Home Performance with Energy Star

Through our affiliate, Jenesis Building Corp., we are a participating contractor in the Home Performance with Energy Star (HPwES) program. This government program offers qualifying homeowners attractive financial incentives to make energy efficient improvements more affordable.

Home Performance with Energy Star provides a series of short videos that explain the benefits of the program, a program overview,  and a step-by-step guide.

The first step in the Home Performance with Energy Star program is to conduct a Comprehensive Home Assessment to determine your home’s current energy efficiency and recommend ways to reduce energy consumption and costs.  A sample summary report can be found here.

Greenergy NY offers interested homeowners a unique blend of qualifications to conduct your home energy audit:

• Each of our principals has over 20 years of construction experience as a general contractor.
  
  
• We take an unbiased “whole house” approach to audits. Unlike specialized contractors (such as insulation, roofing, siding, or heating), we understand and examine everything in the home that uses energy.
  
  
• All participating contractors in the HPwES program are certified through the Building Performance Institute (BPI). We hold multiple certifications from BPI, and one of our principals is a national BPI instructor, as well.

At Greenergy NY, we believe the qualities that define a “green” home include:

• Minimal environmental impact both during
  construction and over the operating life of the home.
• Promoting a healthy living environment by improving indoor air quality.
• Using durable materials and proven construction techniques.

While every home is different, some “green” measures that we could recommend include:

• Advanced construction methods to reduce
  consumption of resources
• Air sealing and insulation work that reduces
  consumption of fossil fuels.
• Alternative energy and fuel switching solutions
  such as photovoltaic solar panels.
• Equipment and appliance upgrades that reduce fuel consumption, provide greater comfort, and improve indoor air quality.
• Use of low VOC materials and renewable resources to promote healthy living and sustainability.
• Water conservation measures that reduce both
  water and energy consumption.
