Finalists Selected for EVHA Energy Efficiency Awards
The NAHB Research Center selected 18 finalists for the 2006 EnergyValue Housing Awards (EVHA) program recognizing home builders who voluntarily incorporate energy efficiency into the design, construction and marketing of new homes. The winners will be announced at the 2006 International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla. on Jan. 11.
Gold, silver and honorable mention winners will be designated, with one builder earning the “Builder of the Year” award.
A panel of energy-efficiency experts representing engineering, construction, design and marketing selected the finalists based on their homes’ energy value, design, construction methods and processes, marketing and customer relations efforts, and their ability to demonstrate a whole-house systems design approach.
In addition, the public can vote online for the “People’s Choice,” their favorite home design from among the finalists. Voting is open until Jan. 10. To vote online, click here.
