Beazer Homes (NYSE: BZH), one of the nation's top-10 home builders,
is hosting a complimentary webinar, Tuesday, Feb. 2, at 2p.m.
(EST), featuring building science expert Gord Cooke. The
educational webinar, High-Performance Homes: The Blueprint to
Savings, is designed to help prospective home buyers and real
estate professionals gain a better understanding of the energy- and
money-saving benefits of a high-performance home compared to a
typical code-built home.

During the webinar presentation, Cooke will explain the latest
construction techniques and energy-saving features that are
incorporated into today's high-performance homes, and what home
buyers should look for in order to better gauge a home's
performance potential. A question and answer session will follow
the presentation.
"Our goal is to help home buyers learn more about the economical
and ecological benefits found in today's high-performance homes,"
said Kathi James, Beazer's chief marketing officer. "Much of what
Beazer is doing to improve the performance of our homes, like
creating a tighter home seal to prevent air leakage, is based on
proven building science principles. We want buyers to understand
how the advances we're making on the construction side lower
overall operating costs."
Beazer recently expanded its eSMART initiative to include
progressive levels of high-performance homes, all engineered as a
whole-house system to achieve greater energy efficiency, conserve
water and improve indoor air quality.
To measure the performance of its eSMART homes, Beazer turned to
the NAHB Research Center, which tested popular models in various
climate-specific zones and compared them to similar homes built to
the Building America Benchmark. The study found that, depending on
home size and climate zone, Beazer's eSMART high-performance homes
can offer a 27 to 46 percent average energy cost savings over
comparable houses built to the Building America Benchmark.
Additionally, with proper use of an included home energy monitor,
Beazer's homeowners can decrease their annual electricity costs
from five to 15 percent.
