“We are excited to announce the 2019 EL & EMT Award winners and celebrate the significant sustainability and energy management products or project results they achieved,” said Paul Nastu, President, Business Sector Media. “KB Home ProjeKt simplifies and streamlines the sustainable homebuilding process and changes the way we think about homeownership. Every year we’re amazed at the technology leaps bold vendors are undertaking to reduce environmental impacts and energy use. This year’s products and projects have certainly raised the bar.”

KB Home ProjeKt began with a simple operating principle: collaboration. Bringing together key strategic partners from the fields of architecture, building sciences and technology, the home serves as a homebuilding research and development lab, within which the effects of significant social and technological shifts can be studied along with how they might impact the future of home design. KB Home identifies four central principles that will be essential components of Where Tomorrow Lives: Sustainable, Healthy, Smart and Flexible. Within these themes the partners are exploring the home as a vehicle to support residents’ health as well as provide architectural solutions to changing household structures.

“Our lives are changing at the speed of the digital age, and our homes must too. Homes cannot be designed for just one moment in time. They must adapt and grow with their residents and work in harmony with our environment,” said Jeff Mezger, KB Home’s chairman, president and CEO. “We are pleased to learn that the KB Home ProjeKt received Top Product of the Year honors, as our focus was to build a home that can play an active role in helping to enhance homeowners’ health and support a more restful, well-nourished and relaxed lifestyle.”
