Building energy efficient homes is always an important
consideration in terms of operating costs, conservation of natural
resources and compliance with local, state and federal regulations.
This is especially true in Houston, Texas, where climate conditions virtually
dictate the need for achieving energy efficiency, not to mention constantly rising
energy prices. Centex Homes has been building Energy Star compliant homes in Houston since 1995. In the last two years, 100% of the Centex Homes built in Houston have been certified as being compliant with Energy Star principles. Energy Star is a national initiative of programs and
products designed to help save consumers money and preserve the environment through
energy conservation and advanced design and construction techniques.

Centex energy efficient homes offer the option of Energy Star appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators and washers and dryers. They use less energy, which saves money and help protect the environment. Another outstanding energy and cost-saving feature of all Centex Homes built in Houston is the inclusion of programmable Energy Star thermostats that allow for optimum operating efficiency and fuel conservation year-round. It is attention to critical issues such as this that has established Centex Homes as a leader in providing innovative and practical design along with enhanced value for our customers.
