New Homes
Building a new home is a big decision and the resulting environmental
impact can be big, too. But soon it will be easy to save an average
of 10,000 gallons of water per year just by looking for the WaterSense
label when you buy a new home. WaterSense labeled new homes are
designed to reduce water use indoors as well as outdoors and will
include tools to educate homeowners about water efficiency. To learn
more, see the WaterSense Labeled
New Homes fact sheet.
A limited number of WaterSense labeled new homes have already been
built as part of EPA’s New Homes Pilot
Program. Look for a national rollout of the WaterSense New Homes
program later in 2009.
