We believe that your home is more than just a roof over your head. It should inspire happiness and be a place for you to thrive. Plus, you have our assurance that our homes are designed to be ENERGY STAR® certified to provide greater comfort, well-being, and savings.
Comfort
Home should be a place that, simply put, can make life more comfortable.
- High-quality heating and cooling systems, as well as high-efficiency windows and insulation help keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
- Smart thermostats help maintain optimum temperature for your personal comfort and coziness all year round.
- Enhanced air sealing helps to keep dust and pollen outside, and reduce drafts and noise inside.
Well-being
Your home should be the best place of all. That’s why we are committed to building better homes with healthier indoor environments for your well-being.
- Standard interior door hardware comes with antimicrobial product protection that helps reduce the spread of bacteria and germs.
- Environmentally conscious products for our flooring, tile, paint and cabinetry.
- High-performance ventilation systems enhance your home’s environment by regularly introducing fresh outdoor air and reducing indoor air pollutants.
- ENERGY STAR® allows us to deliver a healthier indoor environment, and that’s better for your overall well-being.
Savings
We work hard to reduce the long-term costs of homeownership of a KB home wherever possible, so that you have more to spend on the things you love.
Our new homes are designed to be ENERGY STAR® certified, a standard that fewer than 10% of homes nationwide meets, meaning from the foundation up they can help save you money when compared to typical new and used homes without certification.
High-efficiency windows and insulation, plus energy-efficient appliances and lighting work together to help lower utility costs.
Our KB homes’ WaterSense® fixtures and features help conserve natural resources and save you money.
Our ‘whole home approach’ to energy and water efficiency means you enjoy an average annual savings of up to an estimated $1,800 on utility bills compared to typical used homes.
Awards
Public recognition for a job well done is always great, but these awards are more personal, because they reflect our longstanding commitment to building new homes that offer our customers more peace of mind. That’s good for you, and it’s better for the environment.
Here’s some highlights that we’re especially proud of:
- Newsweek’s 2024 list of America’s Most Responsible Companies, the only national builder to receive this distinction four years in a row.
- 2024 ENERGY STAR® Sustained Excellence Award. EPA’s highest distinction for energy efficiency, we have received this award for 14 consecutive years.
- Named to USA Today's list of America's Climate Leaders for a second year in a row
- 2023 ENERGY STAR® Market Leader Awards. Honored to be the recipient of 29 awards, more than any other homebuilder.
- 2023 WaterSense® Sustained Excellence Award. The first and only homebuilder to be noted, with 13 consecutive years of EPA recognition.
- First and only homebuilder named to Fortune’s 2023 Change the World list.
2023 Sustainability Report
At KB Home, we believe that sustainability is built on one essential idea: balance. We strive to ensure that today’s buyers can achieve the dream of homeownership while balancing that objective with mindfulness about the sustainability needs of future generations and our environment. Sustaining the dream of homeownership both today and into the future is what we do every day.
This year, we published our 17th Annual Sustainability Report, the longest-running publication of its kind in the homebuilding industry. We invite you to learn about what matters to us and to join us on our journey.
