Follow the Movement

Cobble Creek has aligned itself with the following partners in an effort to increase our knowledge base and utilize their tools to reach our goals of energy efficiency.

Department Of Energy

The DOE has created the Builders Challenge in an effort to promote energy efficiency in homebuilding and give builders a rating scale to support their efforts.  Cobble Creek is registered withe the Department of Energy’s Builders Challenge program and is building homes that meet these energy standards.

Energy Star

To earn the ENERGY STAR, a home must meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These homes are at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to the 2004 International Residential Code (IRC), and include additional energy-saving features that typically make them 20–30% more efficient than standard homes.

NAHB Green

Green homes incorporate environmental considerations and resource efficiency into every step of the building and development process to minimize environmental impact. The design, construction, and operation of a home must focus on energy and water efficiency, resource efficient building design and materials, indoor environmental quality, and must take the home’s overall impact on the environment into account.
