Lucchetta Homes is proud to announce that we have won the ENERGY STAR® Builder of the Year (Small/Custom) award at the prestigious 2025 Building Innovation Forum & Awards!
This incredible achievement is a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainable building practices and energy efficiency. As the only builder in Niagara to receive this esteemed award, we are honoured to lead the way in energy-efficient homebuilding in the region.
Our Commitment to Energy-Efficient Homes
For over 50 years, we have been dedicated to building high-quality custom homes that seamlessly blend luxury with energy efficiency. Our commitment to ENERGY STAR® standards ensures that our homeowners enjoy superior comfort, lower utility costs, and a reduced environmental footprint.
ENERGY STAR® certified homes are designed to be at least 15-30% more energy-efficient than traditional homes. Lucchetta builds for efficiency, saving homeowners up to 20% on energy costs compared to new homes built to standard code. We achieve this by integrating cutting-edge building techniques, high-performance insulation, advanced HVAC systems, and moisture-resistant construction methods that enhance both durability and indoor air quality.
ENERGY STAR® certified homes come standard in every new home purchase at Lucchetta Homes, not as an upgrade or an additional fee to the homebuyer.

Why ENERGY STAR® Certification Matters
Homeowners today are increasingly prioritizing energy-efficient features that promote sustainability without compromising on style and functionality. We meet these expectations by incorporating:
- Enhanced Comfort: Advanced heating and cooling systems ensure even temperatures throughout the home.
- Lower Energy Costs: ENERGY STAR® certified homes use significantly less energy, reducing monthly bills.
- Sustainability: Our homes help cut greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 3,700 lbs per year, equivalent to planting 43 trees.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: High-performance ventilation and air filtration reduce allergens and promote healthier living environments.
Our Legacy of Sustainable Innovation
We have a proven track record of pushing the boundaries of energy-efficient homebuilding. In 2016, we became one of the first builders in Canada to construct a Net Zero Energy Ready home under the Canadian Home Builders’ Association’s Net Zero Energy Labelling Program Pilot.
This pioneering spirit continues today as we integrate smart home technology, sustainable materials, and industry-leading construction techniques to deliver homes that exceed modern efficiency standards.
