Green Building Awards Entries Now Being Accepted

Entries are now being accepted for the 2010 NAHB National Green Building Awards. Submit projects for green remodeling, advocacy campaigns and other categories.

Each year, NAHB recognizes individuals, companies and organizations for excellence in residential green design and construction practices, and for green building program and advocacy efforts.

The prestigious awards will be presented at a gala dinner as part of the 12th annual NAHB National Green Building Conference in Raleigh, N.C. May 16-18.

All homes and remodels must be scored to the National Green Building Standard or NAHB Model Green Home Building Guidelines.

Award categories include:

Green Advocate of the Year (Remodeling and other categories)
Green Project of the Year — Remodeling
Green Project of the Year — Single-Family
Green Project of the Year — Multifamily
Green Project of the Year — Development
HBA Green Building Program of the Year
Local Government Green Building Initiative of the Year

The awards are open to both NAHB members and non-NAHB members. All award applications are available online at www.nahb.org/greenbuildingawards and submissions must be postmarked by Friday, Jan. 15, 2010.

The NAHB National Green Building Conference attracts home builders, remodelers, architects, suppliers and environmental officials for three days of educational events, the popular Tour of Green Homes and product booths and demonstrations.

The Propane Education and Research Council and Wells Fargo already have signed on as corporate sponsors, while Lutron will sponsor the Tour of Green Homes.

Exhibit booths are selling briskly and potential exhibitors can e-mail Christopher Hood or call him at 800-368-5242 x8684.
