Homebuilders are now pairing with the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in order to earn a WaterSense label on their newly-built homes. WaterSense is the EPA's final single-family home specification, which was designed to complement green building programs. Homes with WaterSense will be 20% more water-efficient than typical new homes but must be independently inspected and certified by an EPA-licensed certification provider. The new homes will feature WaterSense labeled plumbing fixtures, Energy Star qualified appliances, water-efficient landscaping, and hot water delivery systems that deliver hot water faster, preventing water waste. By investing in WaterSense labeled homes, buyers can reduce their water usage by more than 10,000 gallons per year and if the approximately 1.27 million new homes built in the US each year were WaterSense labeled, it would save more than 12 billion gallons of water.
