more than any other U.S. builder.
KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the largest and most trusted
homebuilders in the U.S., has been named an ENERGY STAR®

unprecedented 14th consecutive year by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). KB Home has built over 188,000 ENERGY STAR

“We are proud to again be recognized by the EPA for our
continued commitment to the ENERGY STAR program. KB Home was the
first national homebuilder to make a broad commitment to building
ENERGY STAR certified homes, and we have built over 188,000
high-performance ENERGY STAR certified new homes since 2000, more
than any other builder in the nation,” said Jeffrey Mezger, KB Home

focus on building highly energy-efficient new homes at an
affordable price that are designed to lower the total cost of
homeownership through potential monthly utility savings while also
reducing their environmental impact.”
