Re: Who Do You Blame for Your Energy Lemon?

EnergyStar already has a new homes program with 3rd party independent verification.

Homes must be verified to be built 15% more efficient that required in the 2004 International Residential Building Code and include additional features to make them more energy efficient.

http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=new_homes.nh_features

Like a lot of programs, this one is not well known.
