Living Smart specifically refers to the inclusion of household items and building products designed to upgrade a home in the following key areas: Health Smart - enhanced indoor air and water quality; Energy Smart - reduced energy requirements resulting in lower utility bills; and Earth Smart - the preservation of precious environmental resources. Some of the options available to homebuyers in each area include: Health Smart - low VOC paint, central vacuum system, air filtration system; Energy Smart - solar power, florescent lighting package, energy saving appliances; Earth Smart - cellulose insulation, engineered wood and tankless water heaters. “Pardee Homes has a strong record of investing in conservation practices and technologies, but Living Smart takes it to a whole new level,” said Joyce Mason, Pardee's Vice President of Marketing. “This comprehensive program provides our homebuyers with greater control over environmental, health and safety, and energy conservation issues related to their home. The end result is a superior home that enhances a family's quality of life.” In introducing the Living Smart program, Pardee is honoring its commitments to preserve open space and implement conservation measures that were part of the successful 1998 Prop M ballot measure. The 97 homes located in Pardee's “Santa Barbara” community will be the first in San Diego to provide homebuyers with such a comprehensive inventory of conservation options. “I am very enthusiastic about the comprehensive options in the Living Smart homebuyers' program,” said Carolyn Chase, former San Diego Chapter Chair for the Sierra Club. “Living Smart has great promise and San Diegans are sure to respond positively to these quality of life investments. Similar innovative and forward thinking conservation options should become the norm in new homes throughout the county.” Prospective homebuyers interested in learning more about the Living Smart program can contact Beth Fischer or Joyce Mason at 858-794-2500.
