Join the Green Building Movement

Green building is clearly a competitive advantage in today's housing market. But it takes more than just good intentions; today's home buyers require comfort, beauty, and real savings on which they can rely. All of these desires can be achieved by constructing a home that is independently inspected and certified to earn the WaterSense label.

As the first national specification for water-efficient new homes, the WaterSense new homes specification sets criteria for indoor and outdoor efficiency, while allowing flexibility for regional landscaping preferences and green add-ons.

• Learn about the indoor and outdoor criteria that give WaterSense labeled homes their savings.
• Follow simple steps to get started on building labeled homes.
