EnergyValue Housing Awards Selection Underway
Judges will be meeting at the end of this month to choose the winners of the NAHB Research Center’s ninth annual EnergyValue Housing Awards.
The awards program honors up to 24 home builders each year who voluntarily incorporate energy efficiency into the design, construction and marketing of new homes. One of the finalists is then selected as Builder of the Year.
Over the past eight years, award winners have built more than 32,000 homes.
This year’s panel of judges includes: Thomas Farkas, manager of residential programs for the Edison Electric Institute; Michael Lubliner, who provides expertise to the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America and ENERGY STAR programs; Richard Morgan, a leader in sustainable building and residential energy efficiency; Paul Norton, a senior engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory; W. Orlo Stitt, president of Stitt Energy Systems; and John Tooley, an innovator in building science technologies.
