LivingSmart® in its entirety is all about health and well-being for you and your family, as well as the planet. It’s the ultimate win-win that improves everyday life for years to come, constantly evolving as we all become smarter together.
HEALTH SMART®
FINISHING PRODUCTS
Low-VOC interior paint, water-based wood finishes and caulking and adhesives ensure a healthy living environment for your family.
AIR FILTRATION
Right-sized HVAC filters provide better air filtration, while quiet bathroom fans with built-in humidistat controllers reduce moisture and automatically turn off when the humidity level has dropped.
AIR QUALITY
A sealed combustion furnace and optional whole house fan help keep indoor air quality at healthy levels.
ENERGY SMART®
HEATING & COOLING
Dimmer switches, motion detectors, energy-efficient heating systems and programmable thermostats all serve to reduce your electrical usage. And with an available solar system, you can harness the power of the sun to lower or even eliminate electrical bills.
LIGHTING
LED lighting throughout your home in key areas such as kitchens, is more energy-efficient than incandescent lighting.
APPLIANCES
Energy Star™ refrigerators, dishwashers and dryers will save you money—simple as that—while tankless water heaters only heat water when you need it.
EXTERIOR PRODUCTS
Our building materials help maintain a comfortable home temperature, reducing energy bills. Weather stripping reduces temperature fluctuation, and low-E window glass keeps heat and cold outside and protects household items against sun damage.
EARTH SMART®
WOOD PRODUCTS
Our engineered wood products resist warping, splitting and shrinking while also preserving our forests.
RECYCLING
We’re doing our part to recycle, while making it easy for you to do the same. Through our recycle/reuse program, we are putting unused materials back to work and creating great products, like our plush stain-resistant carpeting.
EARTH CONSCIOUS
FEATURES
A built-in kitchen recycling bin, an available solar system and electric vehicle charging system conduit are some of the ways we help support your earth-friendly lifestyle.
WATER SMART®
APPLIANCES
We want to help you save resources in every way possible. WaterSense® faucets, showerheads, toilets, smart irrigation controllers, and Energy Star™ dishwashers conserve water and save you money.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
At a time when water conservation is more important than ever before, we’re proud to showcase plants, materials, techniques, and a smart irrigation controller designed for the drought-tolerant landscape.
HOME SMART®
Wi-Fi CONNECTIVITY
Keeping you connected is key, and a home that’s pre-wired for a mesh Wi-Fi system ensures that. Whether controlling your connected smart devices or streaming your favorite shows, your signal stays strong.
