SAVINGS
Lennar’s PowerSmart Homes provide buyers a lifetime of value by increasing energy efficiency at no additional cost. All PowerSmart features are already included.
Energy Efficiency
- Comfort Controls/Programmable Thermostat: Zoning is a comfortable, energy-efficient way to enjoy the temperature you want in every zone.
- Right-Sized HVAC: “Right-sized” heating and cooling systems and sealed air ducts help equipment work efficiently. (“Right-sized” refers to the process of determining which HVAC system should be used in any particular structure.)
- Low-E, Thermal Pane Windows: Low emissivity windows have protective coatings to help keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer.
- Tight Construction: Special techniques such as continuous air barrier and sealing of penetrations help reduce internal leaks and drafts.
- Enhanced insulation at the garage.
- Weather-resistant OSB sub flooring.
- Improved Thermal Systems: Enhanced insulation techniques help to minimize gaps and higher thermal properties (R-value) add to energy efficiency.
Water Efficiency
- Low-Flow Faucets: Kitchen sink and lavatory faucets that conserve water help reduce overall internal household water consumption.
- Low-Flow Showerheads: Showerheads using the latest technologies can help save water without compromising performance.
- High Efficiency Dishwashers: ENERGY STAR rated dishwashers use less water and add to overall household water savings.

- Low-VOC Paint: Using paints with low levels of VOC reduce indoor pollutants.
- Air Pressure Balancing: Balanced air pressure throughout the home results in more even temperatures and reduces the potential for condensation build-up.
Durability & Sustainability
- Each home is equipped with ENERGY STAR appliances.
- Each home is engineered with energy efficient systems to last longer and save money.
- Weather-resistant exterior house wrap promotes higher durability, sustainability, and efficiency.
- Systems Thinking: Creating a home environment that exists in harmony with the environment while meeting homeowner expectations of health, safety, comfort, durability, and energy efficiency.
- Tight Construction: Air barrier continuity and air tightness reduces the potential for moisture to enter the building envelope.
