The homebuilder’s focus is on energy efficiency, delivering high-quality, energy-efficient and affordable entry-level and first move-up homes that include money-saving energy efficiency features, thoughtful design and higher building standards.
Every Meritage home also includes Meritage’s M.Connected Home™ Automation Suite, with smart door locks, door sensors and motion detectors, USB outlets and advanced thermostats, which are centrally managed through a smart home hub and app.
Meritage homes has been in relentless pursuit of building better and more sustainable homes over the last decade, implementing features such as spray foam insulation to maintain the indoor air quality, ENERGY STAR® appliances, low-e windows, sealed ducts, multi-speed HVACs and more. “We will continue to work tirelessly to provide the best in designer-curated trends and home innovation that will help to deliver beautiful homes for our buyers,” said Meritage Homes Chief Executive officer Philippe Lorde.
Proving its commitment to energy efficiency, many of Meritage’s homes are double certified under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR and Indoor airPLUS program in addition to ENERGY STAR-rated appliances and WaterSense-certified water fixtures. Just this year, Meritage was named an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year by the EPA for the 11th time. Furthering this recognition, the builder has completed over 126,000 ENERGY STAR-certified homes since it made the commitment to building 100% energy-efficient homes in 2009.
The homebuilder targets millennials and Gen Z buyers who are likely first-time homebuyers, as well as move-down baby boomers. The company does this by focusing its product on affordability and a quick move-in timeline, coupled with a flexible homebuying process.
