EnergySmart Homes Scale (E-Scale)
ALL Capital Home Builders Homes are tested and certified by an independent, third party to determine the energy performance or E-Scale score of the home. Capital Home Builders Homes guarantees that all homes will score 60 or lower on the E-Scale. What does that mean? A home achieving 60 on the EnergySmart Home Scale will use only 60 percent as much energy as a typical new home, which is 100 on the scale - saving about 40 percent in energy use on utility bills.
CHB Homes continues to use new construction products and processes to not only improve its quality reputation and energy efficiency of its homes, but also its value equation. CHB Homes is the only builder building Energy Smart High Performance in South Georgia and North Florida with the lowest HERS Score of any other builder. We are the only builder in South Georgia to have our homes tested by a third party to allow the consumer to easily compare homes on the market.
