Water Conservation

Piles of laundry. Baths before bedtime. Thirsty lawns and flower gardens. California's population is booming, and the demand on our limited water supply is under increasing pressure. But fortunately, GreenPoint Rated Homes are designed to use water more efficiently and effectively. Gardens and landscaping are designed to use less water.

GreenPoint Rated homes are given higher scores if their appliances are as efficient with water as they are effective at getting the job done. This will mean that you'll have lower water bills. It's all part of a GreenPoint Rated strategy to save you money while saving our resources.

And while GreenPoint Rated homes represent the latest advances in residential water-saving design and technology, conserving water is not a new concept in Irvine… not by any means. For decades, the Irvine Company has worked closely with the City of Irvine, Irvine Ranch Water District and others on effective and comprehensive water-conservation programs and technologies. These range from a state-of-the-art system that relies on satellites to transmit weather data to irrigation controllers, to a dual-pipe system that transports fresh and reclaimed water throughout The Irvine Ranch, to low-flow shower heads, toilets and other technology in office buildings, homes and hotels.
