That Meet ENERGY STAR Guidelines are Energy Efficient
Energy efficient qualified homes are 15% more efficient than homes built to the 2004 IBC and include additional enery-saving features that typically make them 20-30% more efficient than standard homes. We build our homes according to the guidelines for ENERGY STAR Qualified Homes. We do follow the rigorous guidelines so your new Pacific Legacy Home saves you enery, water, and money.
Performance Guidelines
We adhere to the following guidelines when building your new home:

The windows also block damaging ultraviolet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furnishings. |
