Gerber Plumbing Fixtures LLC is pleased to announce the inclusion of its highly efficient faucets and toilets in the new ENERGY STAR® qualified homes located in the Montalcino Questa neighborhood in California. Completed on June 11^th with an official grand opening, Montalcino is a lush community of 73 sustainable homes built by Standard Pacific Homes.

“Standard Pacific Homes pride themselves on building beautiful, high-quality homes for families across the United States, and with the help from Gerber the homes at Montalcino allow for extreme water savings,” said Patti Wilbur, sales representative for Paramount Sales.

The homes at Montalcino were built to use nearly 50 percent less energy compared to a typical re-sale home. In addition to being ENERGY STAR® qualified, all Standard Pacific Homes, in the Montalcino community, include water-conserving plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems, and high-efficiency heating and cooling systems. Moreover, these homes used low-VOC interior paint and installed radiant barrier roofing to further reduce energy consumption.

The contractor preferred Gerber’s eco-friendly, high efficiency toilets and faucets due to the company’s strong reputation for delivering top performing plumbing products. “Gerber is concerned about wasting water and seeks to be a part of a new community like Montalcino, who focuses on water reduction,” said Gary Cardono, director of hospitality sales for Gerber. “This is a prime opportunity for us to help conserve water in Northern California.”
