What is ENERGY STAR?
The ENERGY STAR label on a new home means that it is significantly more efficient than a standard home. By purchasing an ENERGY STAR qualified home, you can have all the features you desire in your new home, plus lower utility bills. And you will help reduce air pollution.
In October of 2005 Cimarron became an ENERGY STAR Partner. Together we are working to achieve a common goal. Protecting the environment for future generations by changing to more energy efficient practices today.
It’s our future. Together, we can make a change for the better.
How do homes qualify as ENERGY STAR?
Homes that earn the ENERGY STAR label are significantly more efficient than
Standard homes. ENERGY STAR home builders achieve this high efficiency for you by selecting from a variety of features:
EFFECTIVE INSULATION
 Properly installed insulation in floors, walls, and attics ensures even temperatures throughout the house, while using less energy. The result is lower utility costs and a quieter, more comfortable home.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE WINDOWS
 Windows with advanced coatings and construction help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. They also block damaging ultraviolet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furnishings.
TIGHT CONSTRUCTION AND TIGHT DUCTS
Advanced techniques for sealing holes and cracks in the home’s “envelope” and in the heating and cooling ducts help reduce drafts, moisture, dust, pollen pests, and noise.
A more tightly sealed home improves comfort and indoor air quality, while lowering utility and maintenance costs.
MORE EFFIECIENT HEATING AND COOLING EQUIPMENT
 Energy-efficient properly installed heating and cooling systems use less energy, which reduces utility bills. You can expect higher quality and greater durability backed by longer warranties now available on many models.
INDEPENDENT TESTING
While it’s easy to claim that homes are energy efficient, ENERGY STAR partners
back that up with a third-party inspection verifying the energy performance of your home.
