eSMART™ by Beazer Homes. A better way to live.
What defines eSMART by Beazer Homes™?
We believe that eco friendly new homes should be built with the environment in mind; to save energy, conserve water and provide improved indoor air quality. Through eSMART by Beazer Homes™ , the first comprehensive eco-construction program introduced by a national homebuilder, our energy efficient homes minimize the impact on the environment while maximizing your savings…and that is really a better way to live.

How can you benefit from owning a Beazer home?

Energy Savings
The average American family in a typical 10-year-old home1 spends up to $3,000 every year on utilities. eSMART Homes™ can help reduce those costs by up to $1,328 annually or about 44%.2

Water Savings
We exclusively use specially designed Moen showerheads and faucets that reduce your water usage by up to 31%. This represents a savings of up to 15,700 gallons of water annually for an average family.3

Greenhouse Gas Reduction (GHG)4
An occupied eSMART home can reduce Greenhouse Gases by 1.9 metric tons of CO2 equivalent per year.

For every 1000 eSMART homes we build, this represents the same annual GHG reduction that would offset 350 cars on the road.

Saving money from the moment you move in.
As one of America’s top ten homebuilders Beazer is committed to reducing the costs of operating your home. That is why you’ll find so many eco-friendly features in every home we build—standard.

Owning a Beazer home gives you real savings that add up every month.

1Based on the Building America Research Benchmark established by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National renewable Energy Laboratory.
2Based on results of an NAHB Research Center study of a variety of floor plans typical of homes offered by Beazer Homes in a variety of climates in which Beazer builds. Not all floor plans, building materials or construction techniques were evaluated in the study. Efficiency gains will vary for other plan types, building materials, construction techniques and change of climate zone.
3Based on a reduction of flow rates from standard fixtures and the following assumptions: an average family size of 3.19 persons; an average annual water consumption of 50,370 gallons using standard fixtures.
4Based on the results of an NAHB Research Center study of Beazer homes built and occupied as modeled and compared with code-built (2006 International Energy Conservation Code) homes.
