Guided by the core values of conservation and good stewardship, Tejon Ranch developments will show respect for the land and the environment. The Ranch’s residential developments will utilize sustainable building practices, a way of building that respects habitat, conserves water and energy, uses recyclable materials and minimizes pollution.

For example, Ranch developments will embrace LEED-certified building practices. The LEED program, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, encourages the building of homes that (1) use energy resources efficiently; (2) use water resources efficiently; (3) use building construction resources efficiently – through improved design, material selection und utilization, and construction practices; (4) use land resources efficiently; and (5) use materials and practices designed to safeguard occupants’ and workers’ health.

Homes in Tejon Ranch developments will also earn the ENERGY STAR® label because they are designed to protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR® homes reduce energy usage by 25 to 30%.

By using the latest “best practices” in environmentally sensitive design and construction, Tejon Ranch is providing for California’s future in the most responsible fashion possible.
