 Log Home Manufacturer
Earns EPA's ENERGY STAR® Rating
Alta Log Homes announced today that it has joined a
nationwide effort to help the environment through
participation in the ENERGY STAR program. This voluntary
partnership sponsored by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) helps homebuyers, businesses,
and other organizations save money and reduce air
pollution by upgrading their homes to use energy more
efficiently. Alta Log Homes has joined EPA and more than
2,400 builders, manufacturers, and retailers throughout
the United States to help reduce pollution by building
more efficient products. To date, Alta Log Homes has
built eight ENERGY STAR labeled homes, and anticipate
constructing 35 more in the coming year in the state of
New York.
Halcottsville, NY (PRWEB) November 17, 2004 -- You
must be familiar with seeing ENERGY STAR® ratings on
appliances you purchase, but would you think of looking
for it when you purchase a home? How about if it’s a log
home you are buying?
While it is becoming common to find the ENERGY STAR®
rating on many new homes, only one solid log home
company, Alta Log Homes of Halcottsville, NY, has been
awarded the ENERGY STAR® rating - the most trusted
national symbol for energy efficiency in the new home
industry. ENERGY STAR® qualified homes are independently
verified to be at least 30% more energy efficient than
homes built to the 1993 national Model Energy Code or
15% more efficient than state energy code, whichever is
more rigorous. This translates into guaranteed energy
savings for the consumer.
ENERGY STAR® is a government-backed program helping
businesses and individuals protect the environment
through superior energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR®
qualified new homes achieve their energy savings through
a variety of reliable and established technologies and
building practices. However, the ENERGY STAR® label
means more than an energy efficiency certification; it’s
a partnership among government organizations,
businesses, and consumers alike, united in the pursuit
of one common goal – to protect our environment for
future generations.
“It’s great to see a member company take their business
to a new level,” says Dave Kaufman, Executive Director
of the Log Home/Building Systems Council, “they are
demonstrating that their product means more to them than
just sales.”
With this ENERGY STAR® rating, Alta Log Homes, a leader
in the log home industry since 1971, has joined the
ranks of more than 2,400 builders, manufacturers, and
retailers throughout the United States dedicated to
helping reduce pollution by building more energy
efficient homes.
David Mann, President of Alta Log Homes says, “It’s an
honor to be the first company in our industry to get
this rating. It shows our customers how energy efficient
our homes really are, which in turn saves them a great
deal of money in heating and cooling costs.”
