KB Home Earns Environmental Leader’s Top Product of the Year Award - Seite 2

KB ProjeKt is designed to create a health-oriented sanctuary with a wellness focus on air, water, light, nourishment, fitness, and thermal and sound comfort. A flex home design also adapts to life stages and enables freedom, mobility, and higher quality of life.

Among the most advanced features is the Delos^TM DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence Network, which utilizes an integrated system of proprietary software, wellness algorithms and sensor technologies to monitor air quality changes and trigger remediation with the air purification system. DARWIN’s water filtration solutions work similarly to help ensure water quality, and the DARWIN dashboard delivers real-time wellness data for the home and can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet. The robust whole-house Google Wi-Fi mesh network, supported by voice command-activated Google Assistant^TM, powers DARWIN and the home’s other smart features.

The energy-independent home also features a solar power system with a Powerwall^TM energy storage and high-efficiency home management system that meets requirements for a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) “zero” rating. Additionally, the fully integrated off-site building process reduces waste, lowers direct input costs due to centralized scale, reduces construction cycle-time and improves consistency.
