Water is increasingly a great concern. Water and sewer rates are increasing faster than energy costs. Many parts of the nation are facing supply constraints. What are the stakes for builders with the issue? How does water efficiency play into this equation? This session will feature KB Homes, a large national production builder. The builder is seen as a national leader in water efficiency. In 2022 the builder had over 1,700 homes HERSH20® rated. These homes are calculated to save over 84 million gallons of water annually and save homebuyers over $562,000 annually in water bills. KB Home has also committed to having all new developments in Arizona, California, and Nevada HERSH20® rated and certified under the EPA’s WaterSense for home program. This session will explore why this national builder has committed to water efficiency, what it means to its bottom line and why other builders should commit to greater water efficiency.
