KB Home plans to include “WaterSense” fixtures in all new developments in California, Arizona and Nevada.
Los Angeles-based homebuilder KB Home has announced plans to include water-saving faucets and fixtures in every home it builds in California, Arizona and Nevada, using Environmental Protection Agency-rated “WaterSense” devices.
WaterSense-labeled plumbing fixtures like faucets, showerheads and toilets meet the EPA’s specifications for water efficiency and use about 30% less water than standard fixtures, according to the federal agency.KB Home, one of a number of national homebuilders experimenting with energy- and water-efficient homes for the past 12 years, has included more than 900,000 WaterSense fixtures in 18,000 homes it built since 2010, the company said. Those homes save about 1.
Builders like Toll Brothers, Lennar and TriPointe also claim on their websites to use WaterSense fixtures.
