Keiser Homes 1st to build to Energy Star 2.5
Oxford, Maine – Keiser homes receives Energy Star label for their first Version 2.5 compliant modular home! This certification demonstrates the TRA program that covers both in-plant and site completion activities. The TRA Certification program is conducted in cooperation with the EPA Energy Star office. Certification of this home is the 1st step towards achieving plant recognition under the Energy Star in-plant process for modular homes. To our knowledge, Keiser Homes is the first in the region to build a modular home certified to the Energy Star 2.5 standard. Keiser is planning their next home to be a ‘Super Energy Saver’ model which will include double exterior wall construction & higher insulation R-values throughout. Keiser is seriously embracing the new Energy Star version 3.0 program and is heavily involved in the current transition phase which is resulting in upgraded efficiency for all of their residential modular homes.
