The ENERGY STAR® label on a new Alta Log Home
means you are building an environmentally responsible home. When
asked in a recent survey what builders should do to help
preserve the environment, 93% of
homeowners answered, “build
more energy-efficient homes.” Not only do ENERGY STAR® labeled
homes help preserve the environment, they also cost less to own.
For over 30 years Alta has built log homes that are naturally
energy-efficient. Now, an Alta Log Home
with the ENERGY
STAR® label is 30% more energy-efficient than conventional new
construction.
Use 30% less energy
ENERGY STAR labeled homes lower the demand on our natural
resources. This has a direct and significant environmental
benefit resulting in reduced air pollution for everyone. |
Help to reduce
global climate change
The
energy used by American homes accounts for 20% of total U.S.
carbon dioxide emissions. Since carbon dioxide is a major
contributor to global climate change, limiting its emissions in
our atmosphere, by building energy-efficient homes, is essential
to protecting our environment.
Reduce harmful emissions
The burning of fossil fuels produces other environmentally
harmful emissions, such as
sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury.
ENERGY STAR® labeled homes help to reduce the emission of these
substances into our environment.
Reduce associated health costs
Chronic respiratory ailments are the fastest growing health
problem in the United States. ENERGY STAR® labeled homes help
reduce the amount of fossil fuel needed to heat, cool, and power
your home. This reduction will help lower health care costs
associated with respiratory ailments.
