50% and More Energy and Water Savings Achievable with Homebuilder Program

The Sustainability Master Plan relies on the participation of homeowners for its success. A critical part of the initiative is the GE ecomagination Homebuilder Program, sponsored by GE. GE is working directly with EcoEdge Consulting to broaden its penetration of the community developer market.

The energy and water savings benefits of the GE ecomagination home are made possible by an investment that includes:

• A Thermal Home Envelope developed by Environments For Living (A Masco Company)
• Masco 3 Degree Comfort Guarantee
• Masco/EFL Heating and Cooling Energy Savings Guarantee
• GE Energy Star Lighting Package
• GE Energy Star Appliances
• GE Home Energy and Water Management Control Panel
• GE Solar Energy System

Incentives Include mortgage programs, tax credits and performance guarantees.

The energy and water savings from this program are real, immediate and quantifiable.

They provide a measurable long-term return on investment and contribute to the resale value of the home.
