REACHBARRIER Helps You Take Control of Your Energy Future

Choosing a new home is all about making the tight decisions for you and your loved ones – selecting a neighborhood, a high-quality builder, and the features you value. You compare, ask questions, and make informed decisions about what matters most to you.

But what about energy? Today, more and more buyers value energy efficiency in their new homes – as a way to control their energy bills, reduce carbon emissions, and help preserve our natural environment. Yet, until now, there has been no easy way to compare the energy performance of different homes.

That is where the Energy-Smart Home Scale (E-Scale) comes in. Brought to you by the U.S. Department of Energy, the E-Scale lets you compare the energy per-formance of homes on the market, simply by comparing a number that can put you in control of your energy future.

Look for the EnergySmart Home Scale (E-Scale) to compare the energy per-formance of home models. The lower the number, the more energy and energy dollars – you'll save.
