Lennar thinks PowerSmart when building homes

Leading homebuilder Lennar has launched a new line of energy-efficient PowerSmart homes in New Jersey, as part of its national 'Green' homes initiative.

The new environmentally friendly homes combine the latest in green building techniques and construction, which can save owners up to 67 percent on their heating and cooling energy use (compared to 2001 IECC Code).

Lennar states that its PowerSmart homes will be held to the highest of standards, as all plans will be reviewed and rated by an independent third party through the Environments for Living program to evaluate energy efficiency.

Certified Lennar PowerSmart homes will feature rain-gauge irrigation, fresh air ventilation systems, high-efficiency SEER HVAC system with programmable thermostats, special framing techniques and other environmentally friendly features."
