Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Jackson EMC’s (JEMC) Right Choice homes program recently honored local homebuilders who have long championed building energy efficient new homes.
“Since the program started in 2004, a remarkable 27 million square-feet of Right Choice homes have been certified for energy efficiency and comfort,” said Christy Queen, Jackson EMC’s director of residential marketing. “That’s more than 17,000 energy-efficient homes in our service area that have helped our members save energy and money over the life of their new homes.”
Right Choice homes are built exclusively within Jackson EMC’s service area and meet rigorous energy-efficiency standards. To earn the Right Choice designation, homebuilders must follow advanced building practices that enhance comfort and reduce energy costs for homeowners.
“We’re proud to honor homebuilders who have committed to building homes by Right Choice’s standards, especially those who have been a part of the program from its early days” Queen said. “Homeowners who purchase a Right Choice home experience the benefits of comfort and energy savings.”
Each year, Jackson EMC recognizes homebuilders with best-in-class awards and several Community Spotlight awards in each of four categories based on the number of Right Choice homes completed in a year.
