Smart Energy Savings

A new home is a big investment.  The choices you make will affect your family – and your budget – for years to come.  A BuildSmart home is one way to make sure you get the most for your money today, and save money in the future as well.  A home with BuildSmart certification includes proven energy saving upgrades above the standard building code minimum requirements – upgrades that can save you hundreds of dollars a year in energy costs.

When your builder displays the BuildSmart logo, you can be confident your new home will exceed today’s most challenging energy efficiency standards, and that your builder is committed to building a quality home that offers you and your family comfort and value for years to come.

The BuildSmart® Difference

Every new home in Florida must comply with the state’s energy efficiency code.  This code requires that a home meet minimum

standards for energy efficiency.

FPL’s BuildSmart program goes much further.  BuildSmart homes can be up to 30% more energy efficient that the state code minimum requirements.  This added energy efficiency can help you save hundreds of dollars on your energy bills every year.

FPL And Ameritrend Homes – Partners In Energy Efficiency

The BuildSmart program was developed by FPL to help builders produce more energy efficient homes – and to help homebuyers recognize the BuildSmart advantage and choose these homes.  We’ve partnered with hundreds of innovative, quality-minded builders to incorporate proven energy savings features into their new homes.  The BuildSmart certification tells you that your builder recognizes the importance of designing and building your new home with energy savings in mind, and is committed to your comfort and convenience.
