SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KB Home (NYSE:KBH), in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the City of Roseville, today announced the first four homes in the nation to earn the WaterSense® label. All homes built in KB Home’s new Springwood community will be constructed to the WaterSense criteria and KB Home plans for the community to be the first in the nation in which every home has been certified to meet EPA’s specification for water-efficient new homes. When complete, KB Home’s Springwood, located just east of Sacramento in Roseville, California, will be the first of three communities across the country in which KB Home will build new homes to these guidelines. Each WaterSense labeled new home is independently inspected and certified to ensure EPA criteria are met for both water efficiency and performance. A WaterSense labeled new home built in one of KB Home’s communities is designed to use 20 percent less water than a typical new home inside and out.
