increasingly more educated and aware of the benefits and long term value that energy efficiency and high quality home systems & design have to offer. We believe in 5 years, non-ENERGY STAR rated homes will become functionally obsolete and increasingly difficult to sell within the State of Florida. There are currently (as of 05/07/07), 53 builders/developers on the ENERGY STAR Florida Home Building Partners list who have produced over 13,600 ENERGY STAR Qualified homes, and 116 builders/developers listed as "new partners", for a total of 169 site-built partners statewide participating in the ENERGY STAR program. As of the date mentioned above, there are 4,379 partners nationwide.

Florida to increase its' ENERGY STAR qualified homes market presence, based on the recent rate of increased builder participation and growing consumer awareness to exceed the current national average of 12% in less than 5 years. Update: 09/07/07; The number of building partners has increased 27% in 4 months, from 169 to 215 statewide, confirming our prediction of builders meeting consumer demand for energy efficient, environmentally friendly, high performance homes that are worth the home buyers purchasing dollar. The demand from consumer awareness, national and local home design trends, and future energy code revisions will drive this Florida list to continue doubling annually, we believe, with over 2,000 home building partners meeting that demand statewide in 5 years. The production of 1300 -1900 sq. ft. under air "starter homes" with monthly electric bills equivalent to a car payment are quite frankly no longer marketable or acceptable, especially for 1st time home buyers in Florida, and will be a thing of the past 2-5 years down the road with the cost of energy increasing at the current rate.
