Jeff Mezger
CEO, KB HOME
Innovation:
Investing in sustainable practices and products.
Vision:
KB Home was the first major home builder to publish a sustainability report, and since the construction of its first Energy Star home in 2000, it has moved toward greater advances in affordable, sustainable home building.
Economics:
Through 2015, KB had built more than 95,000 Energy Star certified homes, among others, resulting in annual savings of 1.1 billion gallons of water and more than $28 million in utility bills for homeowners. KB’s future goals include building a neighborhood of net-zero energy homes.
