The company claims that similar to the miles per gallon rating, which reflects fuel efficiency and is a standard disclosure when purchasing a car, the KB Home EPG informs homeowners and prospective buyers about the relative energy efficiency of a KB home and provides them with an estimated dollar amount for monthly electric and/or gas energy costs for the home as designed.

The company also said KB Home EPG will be posted in all of the model homes and presented to buyers when they purchase a KB home.

In addition to offering an estimate of electric and gas bills, the EPG includes a scale of relative energy efficiency that illustrates the advantage of buying a KB home over a typical new home or resale property.
