K. Hovnanian® Homes Recognized with Department of Energy Housing Innovation Award


PHOENIX, Oct. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- K. Hovnanian® Homes is proud to announce the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recognized their Phoenix Division as a 2024 Housing Innovation award winner for homebuilding excellence at their Edgewood Estates project.

This prestigious national award is given to leading homebuilders for their achievements in crafting Zero Energy Ready Homes (ZERH). A home built to the DOE ZERH standard is designed to reduce energy consumption so that if a homeowner decided to add a renewable energy system, the amount of energy produced would offset the amount of energy used in that home.

These homes must meet the DOE ZERH National Program Requirements’ rigorous efficiency and performance criteria and be verified by a qualified third-party as part of their certification process; with their meticulous approach to energy efficiency in new-construction homebuilding, K. Hovnanian’s Phoenix Division was determined to exemplify industry-leading energy efficiency, indoor air quality, comfort, and construction quality.

On October 2, 2024 during the Housing Innovation Awards Ceremony at the Energy and Environmental Building Alliance High Performance Home Builder Summit 2024 in Salt Lake City, UT, the division was recognized for their efforts to improve building performance using off-the-shelf technologies, like spray foam insulation and heat pump water heaters.

On November 6, 2024, K Hovnanian Homes’ Phoenix Division will also be recognized by Salt River Project (SRP), the area’s local utility provider, at SRP’s annual Champions of Sustainability Awards. As a participant in the SRP Business Solutions ™ Program, the division will be awarded for outstanding achievements in electrification, energy efficiency, and clean energy.
