from Kevin in Menasha, WI:
I see an ENERGY STAR home is 25% more efficient than a code built home. How does that 25% translate to how much money is saved by the homeowner? Would your utility bills be 25% lower?
You are correct, since ENERGY STAR homes are built 25% more efficient, that means your utility bills would be 25% lower than a home built to code.
