Currently, Energy Star encompasses 40 product categories and those products recognized as being energy efficient carry the Energy Star mark. This certification has been bestowed upon many consumer electronics including dishwashers, appliances, and even SIP homes.

New SIP homes can qualify for the Energy Star label if they demonstrate a certain level of energy efficiency.

SIP homes from Foam Laminates of Vermont can easily qualify for the Energy Star certification. In order for a SIP home to qualify, it must be tested for energy efficiency using a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) index. The HERS index determines how much energy a home consumes via an objective and standardized test. It is preformed by HERS rather through an onsite home inspection.
