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 an optional central vacuum system 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 included 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, and digital programmable thermostats automatically control your energy use
EXTERIOR PRODUCTS
Our building materials help maintain a comfortable home temperature, reducing energy bills. Radiant barrier roof sheathing reflects the sun, 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 stainresistant carpeting
EARTH CONSCIOUS FEATURES
A built-in kitchen recycling bin, an included solar system** and a pre-wired electric vehicle charging system are some of the ways we help support your earthfriendly lifestyle.
WATER SMART®
APPLIANCES
We want to help you save resources in every way possible. WaterSense® faucets, showerheads and toilets 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 and techniques designed for the droughttolerant landscape
HOME SMART®
Wi-Fi CONNECTIVITY
Keeping you connected is key, and a home that’s pre-wired for a central wireless access point ensures that. Whether controlling your connected smart devices or streaming your favorite shows, your signal stays strong.
