Each PowerSmart Home is individually inspected, tested and rated by an independent third party engineering firm to rate and confirm the energy efficiency of the home. With our Lennar PowerSmart features, our homes achieve an impressive Home Energy Rating System Index, and are designed to be energy efficient and kind to the environment. Don’t settle for any green home. Get a PowerSmart Home by Lennar… the next generation of living.

| 68 is a typical Lennar Homes score. Your homes score may vary, but will meet the Builder's Challenge requirement of a 70 or below. |
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
- R-3 Foam Sheathing - R-3 sheathing on the exterior of the home, with sealed joints, provides a barrier that keeps moisture out, and reduces thermal bridging.
- Passive Attic Ventilation - Continuous soffit vents and adequate roof venting provides even ventilation helping to keep the attic cooler.
- Energy Efficient Lighting - Compact fluorescent bulbs are installed in all recessed can lights.
- Triple Coated Low-E Glass Insulated Windows - 3 Layers of silver blocks 95% of UV rays, allows 66% light penetration and reduces window heat gain by 64% compared to ordinary glass, without reduction in visibility.
- Energy-efficient Appliances ENERGY STAR® - labeled appliances such as refrigerators, clothes washers, dishwashers and efficient water heaters help conserve energy.
- 15 SEER air conditioning system with 95% AFUE furnace - A higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating equates to a more efficient system. PowerSmartSM homes are equipped with a minimum of 15 SEER HVAC equipment
Water Efficiency
- Low-Flow Faucets - Lavatory faucets that conserve water help reduce overall internal household water consumption.
- Energy-efficient Gas Water Heaters - Provide you with an efficient and reliable source of hot water.
