2019 Energy Star Partner of the Year

For the past 41 years, Habitat Metro Denver has been building high-quality homes and selling them with affordable mortgages to low-income home buyers. Our partnership with ENERGY STAR began nearly 18 years ago and continues to evolve and grow.

ENERGY STAR named Habitat Metro Denver Partner of the Year—Sustained Excellence recognition for our leadership in providing the benefits of energy efficiency to low-income families by building ENERGY STAR certified homes.

Historically, Habitat Metro Denver was the first nonprofit homebuilder in the country to build a home certified to meet the standards of ENERGY STAR v.3, Indoor airPLUS, and WaterSense.

E-Star reports show that a Habitat Metro Denver house saves 30-40% in heating and electric use when compared to a code-built home.
