We offer ENERGY STAR ratings for single-family and multifamily buildings, with guidance on certification requirements. ENERGY STAR certification verifies that a building meets the applicable program’s energy-performance requirements.
Our evaluations cover critical factors like insulation, air sealing, HVAC systems, appliances, lighting, and water conservation.
Earning an ENERGY STAR rating demonstrates a building owner's dedication to reducing utility costs, enhancing energy efficiency, and lowering environmental impact.

ENERGY STAR Ratings & 45L Eligibility
45L eligibility update (October 2026): The federal New Energy Efficient Home Credit is not available for qualified new homes acquired after June 30, 2026. Earlier qualifying projects may still be eligible, subject to the applicable certification, acquisition-date and tax requirements.
ENERGY STAR certification remains a way to verify building energy performance. Central Energy Audits can help with ratings and certification documentation. Review historical credit eligibility with your tax professional and confirm any current utility incentives before beginning a project.
