EPA ENERGY STAR Advertising Partnership Program
EPA's Advertising Partnership is an opportunity for a group of local
partners to work together to increase consumer demand for ENERGY STAR
qualified new homes. The Advertising Partnership will provide a
sustained presence for ENERGY STAR in the local market and help build
consumer awareness of ENERGY STAR qualified new homes. In markets
where partners cooperatively place advertising for an 8- to 13-week
period in a major local newspaper (or make an equivalent investment in
other types of advertising) to promote ENERGY STAR qualified new
homes, EPA will match it with a separate equivalent print ad run in
the major local paper.
