About Florida Water Star

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.
