Jones Construction Co. has become a participating partner in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ENERGY STAR® program to build certified energy-efficient homes.

In order to receive the ENERGY STAR® program distinction, homes must meet a multitude of independently monitored standards, all of which are mandated by the ENERGY STAR® program to provide the home buyer with a more durable and comfortable home that is also less expensive to maintain. Homes built under the program's guidelines must meet federal energy efficiency standards.

As a further financial incentive, the ENERGY STAR® program presents each owner with a certificate verifying the energy-efficiency and other value-added features of their home, enhancing the anticipated increase of investment value of the property. ENERGY STAR® has also assembled a network of financial partner companies that offer special mortgage options and reduced interest rates.

Some examples of how Jones Construction is doing its part to make your home healthier and more energy efficient include:

• Insulation (GreenFiber Cocoon)
  • Made from 85% recycled paper
  • Reduces nuisance noise
