Florida Water Star is a water conservation certification program for new and existing homes and commercial developments. Standards and guidelines for water efficiency are included for:

  • Indoor fixtures and appliances
  • Landscape design
  • Irrigation systems

To apply to have your new construction project or existing home certified, here are some tips!

  • We recommend ensuring your landscape and irrigation contractors are Florida Water Star Accredited Professionals
  • Hire a Florida Water Star independent inspector to document and attest to all criteria being met for certification
  • The final step is certification through the Certified Ratings Program, which your inspector will coordinate with you

Florida Water Star can be effectively integrated into other certification programs including:

  • ENERGY STAR®
  • Florida Green Building Coalition’s Certification (FGBC)
  • S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) LEED Program.

The Florida Water Star approach can enhance projects by providing a suite of efficiency practices that focus on ways to reduce water use designed for a Florida lifestyle.
