EPA’s WaterSense Building Specifications

EPA’s WaterSense Building Specifications

EPA released its Final Specification for Single-Family New Homes (PDF) on December 10, 2009. This specification establishes the criteria for new homes labeled under the WaterSense program and is applicable to newly constructed single-family homes and townhouses of three stories or less. Builders can now become WaterSense partners and begin constructing homes to earn the WaterSense label.

Designed to use about 20 percent less water than typical new homes, WaterSense-labeled new homes are independently inspected and certified by EPA-licensed certification providers. These new homes feature WaterSense-labeled plumbing fixtures, ENERGY STAR qualified appliances (if installed), water-efficient landscaping, and an efficient hot water delivery system.
