Trademark specializes in energy efficient building practices and is an Energy Star certified builder. Energy efficient building uses less resources and the homes produce less pollutants. Energy Star is a program through which homes are built to certain stringent specifications that make the home produce less pollution and use energy more efficiently. During construction, homes are inspected by a third party professional in the field of energy management. Once the home passes all required inspections and tests, it becomes certified and will receive a certification label that is transferable for the life of the home. This increases the re-sale value of the home, especially at a time when energy resources are growing more expensive daily.

Energy Star homes use at least 15% less energy than a typical new home. This alone can provide substantial savings over the life of the home. These homes are built to provide a higher air quality inside the home and help to prevent air drafts, moisture, pollution and noise. Fresh air is brought in through an air intake which filters the air and allows control of the air that is brought into the home. The benefits can be outstanding for someone who may have asthma or other breathing difficulties.
