NEW CONSTRUCTION
New construction covers the building of new energy-efficient homes, including the new home's envelope (outer walls, windows, doors, skylights, roof and insulation), HVAC system, ductwork, lighting and appliances. The Whole House Committee is currently monitoring developments in new construction and implementation of the ENERGY STAR® for New Homes program.

The CEE New Homes Program Summary provides an overview of the currently active member new homes programs across the United States and Canada.

EXISTING HOMES
The Existing Homes Program Guide contains information on voluntary programs for the promotion of energy efficient homes in the United States and Canada. Developed by a working group of 110 CEE member organizations and representatives from the industries that serve the existing homes market, this document has become a key reference point and represents the foundation for consistency in messaging, not just by efficiency programs but by all stakeholders.

The Existing Homes Program Guide Executive Summary is available online. For more information, or to obtain a copy of the full CEE Existing Homes Program Guide, please contact Alice Rosenberg.

WINDOWS
The Whole House Committee is exploring opportunities to promote super-efficient windows, such as highly-insulating and triple-pane products. Through conference calls, product overview documents, and collaboration with DOE, the Committee is working to advance the market for energy efficient windows
