The energy star program is structured through the U.S. Department of Energy; they set the guidelines and monitor the program. Energy ratings are designated by stars, the highest designation, 5-stars demonstrates the highest level of energy efficiency by government guidelines.

Energy Star designations are not uncommon, in fact, many residential developments throughout California and Arizona earn 2 to 4 star energy designations. What is extraordinary are all Avalon Custom Homes are 5-star energy rated, this is extraordinary because the average Avalon Home is over 6,000 square feet, and even a 13,000 square foot home they completed earned the 5-star energy rating. Now, that’s extraordinary!
