Be more comfortable in your home

You get a better indoor air quality living in a LiveSmart home because of the environmentally preferable materials used and better building practices. Air distribution is also more efficient due to air duct sealing.

Save green

Spend less on heating and air due to effective levels of wall, floor and attic insulation, comprehensive air barrier details, high-performance, and "Low E" windows. Monthly savings could amount to hundreds per year, according to ENERGY STAR®.

Maximize your home's efficiency

Living in a Jones home means you're in a home that is between 20–30% more efficient than International Energy Conservation Code 2003 standards.
*We recently had a 3rd party analysis done on one of our Jones homes built using our LiveSmart standard. The findings were amazing! The new Jones home tested at 42% more efficient than one built just 10 years ago! Your results may vary. Results vary based upon energy usage habits.

Protect the environment and your health

Our superior insulation reduces air leakage to the outside, allowing you to run your furnace less, burn less fossil fuels and use less electricity.

Making the most of our resources

The purpose of Smart Engineering™ is to deliver efficient design – we maximize square footage to give you more home for your money. By utilizing this process during construction, we ensure that every Jones home is built with the purpose of reducing the quantity of materials used and the waste generated. Materials that are used are the most resource-efficient, while we continually recycle waste materials during the construction process. Every Jones home is also equipped with Mohawk's™ Green label® flooring.

Building energy-efficient homes

The Jones Company promotes energy efficiency in various ways, with the application of methods supported by ENERGY STAR® being a key component in that equation. We install ENERGY STAR® advanced lighting packages, dishwasher, and fans, as well as provide a better selection of optional appliances that are all ENERGY STAR® rated. In addition, we install "Low E" windows that lower heat flow through the windows to allow for more efficiency – heat is kept inside during winter and outside during summer.

ENERGY STAR® featured products:

• Windows
• Lighting
• Fans, including bath

Constructing water-efficient homes

The same efficiency efforts apply to every Jones home in terms of water use. By installing water-efficient shower heads in secondary baths and water-efficient sink faucets in all bathrooms, your home will make a global contribution in regard to water conservation.

Maximizing indoor environment quality

We make it a priority to provide a healthy indoor environment for our homeowners. We ensure quality by minimizing potential sources of pollutants, and therefore, use low-VOC paint. We further manage potential pollutants generated in the home by sealing fireplaces. Plus, we employ the necessary steps to prevent moisture from entering the home through plumbing or heating and cooling systems in the forms of vapor or rainwater.
