Living in a Jagoe EnergySmart Home already gives you a serious advantage when it comes to energy efficiency. But when you pair that with the power of a Google Nest Thermostat, your home becomes a smart, money-saving machine, without you lifting a finger most of the time.

Let’s walk through how Jagoe Homes gets you started on the right foot, and how you can take it even further.

Why Energy Efficiency Should Matter to You

An energy-efficient home doesn’t just feel better—it works better. In your Jagoe Home, that means:

• Lower monthly utility bills
• Consistent comfort in every season
• A reduced environmental footprint
• Higher resale value

It’s not just about saving money (though that’s a big perk); it’s about building a better future for you and your family.

Your TechSmart Thermostat: Nest + Jagoe = Big Savings

The Google Nest Thermostat is more than just sleek, it’s a powerful energy-saving tool that perfectly complements your Jagoe EnergySmart home. Since we’ve already ensured your thermostat is optimally placed for performance, you can jump straight into using these tips to maximize your savings.

1. Let Nest Learn Your Routine

The Nest Thermostat is designed to learn and adapt to your lifestyle, lowering the temperature when you’re away or asleep, and adjusting automatically before you return.

Quick tip:

• Winter: Set to 68°F when home
• Summer: 78°F when home
• Use Eco Mode while you’re out to save even more

2. Create a Personalized Heating & Cooling Schedule

Custom schedules take the guesswork out of saving energy. Nest will remember your patterns and optimize accordingly, helping you stay comfortable without constantly adjusting settings.

3. Zoned Comfort with Dual Thermostats

If your Jagoe Home features zoned HVAC (separate temperature controls for different floors or spaces), dual Nest Thermostats allow even more targeted energy management.

Efficiency trick:

• Winter: Keep upstairs a bit cooler than downstairs
• Summer: Set upstairs slightly cooler to offset rising heat
• Balance both zones for comfort and savings

4. Use Nest’s Built-In Tools

Nest’s smart features are made to support your energy goals:

• Home/Away Assist: Automatically adjusts settings based on occupancy
• Energy History: Tracks your usage and finds ways to improve
• Remote Access: Control everything from your phone—even when you’re not home

5. Build on the EnergySmart Foundation

Your home already has energy-saving systems in place. You can maximize them even more with simple habits:

• Keep up with HVAC maintenance
• Check weather-stripping and insulation seasonally
• Use smart ventilation (especially in kitchens and bathrooms) to maintain airflow and reduce strain on heating/cooling systems.

You don’t have to start from scratch! We’ve built the systems; you just fine-tune them.

Real Numbers. Real Savings.

Home Type	HERS Index	Monthly Utilities	Annual Cost	Annual Savings
Average Used Home	130	$284	$3,408	–
Standard New Home	100	$200	$2,400	$1,008
Jagoe EnergySmart	62	$170	$2,040	$1,368

These savings aren’t hypothetical, they’re based on real Jagoe floor plans and real energy ratings. The combination of smart home technology and smart home building just makes sense.
