The KB homes available at Genoa at Orchard Hills offer our customers smart solutions for energy independence while supporting personal wellness for homeowners and their families. Buyers are seeking homes that deliver on energy efficiency and promote healthier home environments. This new smart home delivers on that.”

Steve Ruffner, regional general manager for KB Home

Smart Home, Wellness, AND Efficiency Technologies

Every KB Home in Genoa at Orchard Hills meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indoor airPLUS standards for a cleaner, healthier indoor environment. But home buyers have the option to integrate Delos’ state-of-the-art DARWIN Home Wellness Intelligence network, which KB says is “a powerful responsive platform that passively monitors and calibrates the home environment to help support health, performance and well-being.”

In our industry, Delos has partnered with the Home Technology Specialists of America (HTSA) to bring their incredible home health and wellness technologies to the broader custom integration channel.

KB Home notes that they are the first production home builder to offer the innovative DARWIN technology that includes a proprietary sensor-monitoring platform and solutions across air filtration, water purification and restorative lighting. The system can be controlled by an app, a tablet, or Google Assistant, giving users access to wellness intelligence throughout the home.

Efficiency Savings; $1.7 Million Price Tag

KB Home also says their homes in Genoa at Orchard Hills will be built to ENERGY STAR guidelines and will include WaterSense faucets and fixtures. These homes will also include 2kW SunPower Equinox solar photovoltaic systems as standard features. The company notes that these energy and water efficiency features are estimated to save homeowners around $2,000 per year in energy costs, for a total savings of $60,000 over a 30-year mortgage.
