HomeFree Nevada
Southern Nevada's Emerging Home Performance with Energy Star® program
A drafty home, rooms that are too hot or too cold, and managing energy use and utility bills are all common issues for homeowners. A quality installation of a new heating or air conditioning system, buying replacement windows, or adding more insulation may fix part of the problem. But the way to better results is through an integrated "whole-house" approach that looks at your house as a system.
Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®, a national program from the U.S. EPA and U.S. DOE, offers a comprehensive and quantitative, whole-house approach to improving energy efficiency, comfort, health, safety and durability at home, while helping to protect the environment. The Las Vegas Springs Preserve is a sponsor of the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® (HPwES) program under the name HomeFree Nevada (HFN).
