Americans may be trying to live greener these days, but none of the nation’s biggest home builders has fully embraced sustainable design or construction, according to a study released Tuesday.
Every major home builder offers some environmental and efficiency programs with at least some of their new homes, according to the study by investment company Calvert Group and the Boston College Institute for Responsible Investment.
Among the nation’s 13 biggest home builders, the study ranked Miami-based Lennar Corp. No. 5, while D.R. Horton Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas, is tied with Michigan builder Pulte Homes Inc. for the No. 2 spot. Dallas-based Centex Corp. ranked No. 4.
