Ravenswood Homes is an Energy Star®Home builder!

If you're considering a Ravenswood Homes community you'll be pleased to know that many homes under construction or in the planning stage will be Energy Star® certified.

What is an Energy Star® Home?
Energy Star® Homes use 10-15% less energy than the current Model Energy Code in Connecticut while maintaining or improving indoor air quality! The program is sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy and is administered by local utility companies like CL&P and United Illuminating. By utilizing Energy Star® guidelines we can build a more energy efficient home with lower utility costs while having a beneficial impact on the environment.

What makes a home an Energy Star® Home?
Minimized air infiltration, maximum insulation, Energy Star® compliant appliances, lower cost hot water heating, high efficiency heating and air conditioning, and state of the art construction techniques allow each home to pass rigorous inspections that lead to certification as an Energy Star® Home.

Trailside Village - Our newest active-adult community in Hamden, is currently under construction with all 56 units to be Energy Star® certified.

Morningview is our new single family community in Hamden. All 24 homes will be Energy Star® certified. Phase I is sold out. Phase II construction is underway.

Country Hill, sold out in early 2006, is our single family subdivision consisting of 34, Energy Star® Certified homes in Middletown.

As quoted by Ravenswood Homes' company president in the January 2006 publication Business New Haven, "The basic model energy code is what every builder has to build for. Beyond that is an option for builders to take it to another level and build an Energy StarŪ home. This means we're making a tighter house and a more efficient house with the appropriate energy efficient appliances and heating and air conditioning units. We use higher-rated, more efficient windows and higher-rated insulation factor as we seal up all the openings in the house that sometimes you see in framing partitions."

Building a quality home has always been our goal at Ravenswood Homes and we're excited to make them even more energy efficient as well. We look forward to hearing from you.
