KB Home is not affiliated with RESNET or its service providers, or with any energy efficiency rating organization or related system or service provider, software program, or rater. The HERS Index score and the estimated energy costs and savings shown for this home plan are determined using RESNET-approved computer software and RESNET factors and assumptions as to typical residential energy use and the standard features of the home as designed. Each is based on the heating and cooling systems, appliances and lighting that are included as standard items with this home plan and average local energy utility rates available at the time of determination. The estimated energy costs and savings shown do not include or take into account any applicable local, state or federal taxes and/or regulatory or energy utility provider-imposed fees, tariffs or charges. The comparison typical new home is the RESNET U.S. national reference home, which is built to the specifications of the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code. The comparison typical resale home marks the energy efficiency of the existing U.S. housing stock compared to the RESNET U.S. national reference home, as set by the U.S. Department of Energy. KB Home does not warrant or guarantee that a HERS Index score for an as-built home will be equal to or lower than the home’s as-designed score as shown for this home plan, or that any level of energy costs or savings (if any) will be achieved or maintained, even if a home is built as designed per this home plan. Actual energy costs and savings (if any) for any built home will vary over time, and may vary substantially, based on a number of factors and variables. Important information about the HERS Index and the estimated energy costs and savings figures shown for this home plan is available online at http://www.kbhome.com/epg and at KB Home community sales offices.
