Natural Comfort Energy Efficient Home

You should feel good about building natural gas into your next project…and your homebuyers will too.

Natural Comfort logoNatural gas: It’s reliable and safe. Extremely energy efficient, it creates less greenhouse gas emissions than other fossil fuels. In addition, it’s a domestic fuel, with 98 percent of the natural gas used in the U.S. produced in North America. Now, with the Peoples Gas Natural Comfort™ program, it’s easier to bring the benefits for natural gas to your next homebuilding project.

By installing natural gas appliances and choosing from a menu of other energy-efficient and environmentally responsible options, you’ll do more than build homes that are up to 30 percent more efficient. You’ll also receive financial incentives and tremendous marketing support – from multimedia mass-market advertising to home signage and sales sheets.

In addition to marketing support you’ll get through Natural Comfort, our program raters can help you achieve the scores needed to meet the standards of a number of green building programs including the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC), Energy Star®, and LEED for Homes.
