The Long Island Power Authority, United Way of Long Island, community groups and building trades teamed up to host the ENERGY STAR® for Affordable Housing Conference 2007 in May. The seminar focused on making affordable housing more affordable through LIPA’s New York ENERGY STAR Labeled Homes Program.
New York ENERGY STAR Labeled Homes use approximately 30 percent less energy than conventionally built new homes. These homes achieve the savings with improved air sealing and insulation techniques, high quality windows and doors, high efficiency heating and cooling systems, well-sealed duct systems and ENERGY STAR qualified appliances and lighting. In 2008, New York ENERGY STAR standards will become a building code requirement in many communities on Long Island.
