KB Home Sets New Industry Record by Earning an Unprecedented 30 Energy Star Market Leader Awards
KB Home, one of the largest and most trusted homebuilders in the U.S., today announced that it has received a record 30 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR® Market Leader Awards in 2024, more than any other homebuilder.
According to the Financial Times, as the leader in energy-efficient homebuilding, KB Home was the first national homebuilder to make a broad commitment to building ENERGY STAR certified homes, a standard that fewer than 10% of new homes nationwide meet, and KB Home has built more ENERGY STAR certified homes than any other builder. An energy-efficient KB home helps lower the cost of ownership through monthly utility bill savings and is designed to deliver greater comfort and well-being than new homes without certification.
The Market Leader Award recognizes partners participating in EPA’s ENERGY STAR Residential New Construction program who have made a significant positive impact in energy-efficient construction and environmental protection by building ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments. ENERGY STAR certified homes meet strict requirements set by the EPA, resulting in a home that is at least 10 percent more efficient than homes built to code.
“We are proud to once again lead the homebuilding industry by setting a new record with 30 EPA ENERGY STAR Market Leader Awards, more than any other homebuilder. This recognition further demonstrates our position as the most energy-efficient national homebuilder,” said Jeffrey Mezger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of KB Home. “We believe that an ENERGY STAR certified KB home is a better home, one that is more efficient and affordable to operate, and delivers on the enduring promise of the American Dream.”
