A Commitment to Building Better
Environmental
At Meritage Homes, we look to improve upon our environmental stewardship everyday by continuously exploring opportunities to enhance and supplement our industry-leading energy-efficient homebuilding program. Since 2009, Meritage® has been an early adopter and leader of a green mission in the homebuilding industry. Meritage was the first national homebuilder to commit to certifying 100% of our homes to the ENERGY STAR® for Homes Program, and later was the first national builder to commit to certifying 100% of our homes to the US EPA’s Indoor airPLUS Program. Additionally, all of our homes are equipped with WaterSense certified water fixtures.
The US EPA recognizes Meritage’s outstanding contributions to protect the environment through advancing energy efficiency in the homebuilding industry. Meritage Homes was first awarded the ENERGY STAR® Builder of the Year in 2011, then followed by the ENERGY STAR® Leadership in Housing in 2012. In 2021, the Company was named ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year — Sustained Excellence the eighth time since 2013, and was the recipient of the EPA Indoor airPLUS Leader Award. Meritage has delivered more than 87,000 ENERGY STAR® certified homes since 2009.
