Taylor Morrison reveals surprising new home design feature that slashes energy bills by 30%
- The homebuilder announced a new "smart pane" window system that uses advanced insulation and tinting to cut cooling costs by up to a third in hot climates
- Taylor Morrison says the technology, already tested in Arizona and Texas, will roll out to 20 new communities by the end of 2025
- Homeowners in early pilot programs reported average savings of $1,200 per year on electricity, even with peak summer rates
- Unlike standard windows, the panes use a self-adjusting film that blocks 97% of UV rays without darkening rooms
- Taylor Morrison claims the feature adds under $2,000 to a new home's base price, potentially boosting resale value for eco-conscious buyers
