Leveraging its position as an industry leader in building
energy-efficient homes, KB Home plans to include Carrier’s new
smart thermostat in its homes across the country
KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nation’s largest and most
recognized homebuilders, today announced that homes at nearly all
of its newly-opened communities in 2016 and beyond will include a
Carrier® Côr thermostat, a smart-home technology designed to help
homeowners save energy, as well as maximize their convenience and
comfort.
Using Wi-Fi technology and sophisticated software, the Côr
thermostat learns the characteristics of a home and the way
homeowners live in it, then analyzes outside weather patterns to
intelligently adapt heating and cooling system performance for
greater efficiency and comfort.
The Côr thermostat’s smartphone-like touchscreen and sleek
design provide an enhanced and intuitive user experience, making it
easy for KB homeowners to take advantage of its wide range of
benefits. Users can control their home’s heating and cooling and
monitor their energy consumption conveniently from any smart
device, or let Côr’s technology automatically adjust temperature
settings for them.
Incorporating the Côr interactive thermostat is the builder's
latest in a series of continual improvements to the sustainability
of its new homes. All KB homes are ENERGY STAR® certified, have
WaterSense® labeled fixtures, and include materials, systems and
other features that are designed to promote a healthier indoor
environment.
“As one of the nation’s leading homebuilders, we understand the
importance of designing our homes to support today’s connected
lifestyles,” said Dan Bridleman, senior vice president of
Sustainability, Technology and Strategic Sourcing at KB Home. “By
equipping KB homes with Carrier’s innovative Côr thermostat, we
empower our homeowners to better control their home’s energy usage,
right from their fingertips.”
While Côr offers standard comfort modes for optimal performance
during various times of day, its settings can also be customized to
suit individual preferences and for specific circumstances, such as
“Exercising” or “Working from Home.”
Côr also monitors energy use patterns and delivers
state-of-the-art usage reports as well as customized
energy-conserving tips to help homeowners understand their heating
and cooling system’s performance and make modifications to help
maximize energy savings.
