INTRODUCING THE LIVINGSMART® PROGRAM AT TRI POINTE HOMES’ CITRO COMMUNITY
Interweaving smart technology in every Citro home
Enjoy durability, comfort and savings with Livingsmart by Tri Pointe Homes®. At Citro, Tri Pointe Homes’ newest master-planned community, every home is built with the latest smart technology, energy-saving features, systems to help conserve water and equipment to support indoor air quality.
Designed with the Earth’s and residents’ well-being in mind, the Livingsmart program builds from Tri Pointe Homes’ tradition of being a leader in green building for over 20 years. Expanding Tri Pointe Homes’ commitment to improving the quality of life for its communities, the Livingsmart program is consistently being updated with new materials, technologies and features.
Citro’s five available neighborhoods, Meyer, Zutano, Castello, Pomelo, and Avo are expected to incorporate all five Livingsmart elements. Together, Healthsmart®, Energysmart®, Earthsmart®, Watersmart® and Homesmart®, take a holistic approach to modern living.
Equipping homes with state-of-the-art finishes and filters, Healthsmart helps improve interior air quality in all five neighborhoods at Citro. With included features such as low or no VOC products in paint, adhesives, sealants and cabinets, residents can sit back and relax in a home built with their health and comfort in mind. Also included in Healthsmart are CRI Green Label +Plus (certified low emission) carpets, formaldehyde-free insulation, carbon monoxide detectors and MERV 8 air filters or higher to help reduce airborne contaminants.
Like all of Tri Pointe Homes’ new communities, Citro’s dedication to energy efficiency shines through its Energysmart package. Future residents may enjoy the ability to reduce their energy demands and increase their savings on utility bills. Homes will include energy-efficient LED lighting, right-sized HVAC equipment and Low-e glass windows aimed at letting in the light while keeping the elements out.
Expanding its legacy of conscious building practices, Tri Pointe Homes is incorporating sustainable materials into each of its Citro neighborhoods. With the Earthsmart program, homes can include engineered wood products that resist wear and tear, long lasting LED lightbulbs and Low-e windows which help protect fabrics, floors and furniture from potentially damaging ultraviolet rays.
With Citro’s location in sunny Fallbrook, water conservation is important. From landscape design to plumbing fixtures, the Watersmart program is an essential component to the Citro community. In fact, Watersense certified faucets and fixtures are included in every bathroom and Energystar® certified dishwashers are installed in every kitchen.
Rounding out Tri Pointe Homes’ Livingsmart program is Homesmart, which equips homes with smart temperature gauges, lighting and more that can all be managed by connected device or voice control. Technologically savvy residents may use their home’s Mesh (or whole home) Wi-fi system to access home automation features such as remote home access for guests or service providers.
