With so much success surrounding the 2009 NAHB National Green Building Awards, the organization is accepting submissions for 2010. Their theme, “Greening the American Dream,” embodies the concept of the honors themselves: excellence in green residential design, construction practices and outstanding green advocacy efforts.
Do you know of a green home builder who mirrors these qualities? Perhaps it’s the green home community in which you live, or one that you’ve researched in the early stages of your homebuying or construction process. If you admire their commitment to green homes, let them know by suggesting that they enter. Or, perhaps you are a builder who employs sustainable building practices. If so, nominating your firm may be a good way to gain the recognition you deserve!
Need something to jog your ideas? Consider these categories:
- Advocate of the Year: Builder, Remodeler, Individual, Group and State/Local Government
- Green Project of the Year: Single-Family, Remodeling and Multifamily
- Green Development of the Year
- Green Home Building Program of the Year
The 2010 awards will be held in Raleigh, NC; new homes for sale are plentiful and a buyer’s market is in full swing in this area, making it an appropriate location for a NAHB event. To inquire about the awards and entry process, contact Chad Riedy at greenawards@nahb.com prior to January 15, 2010.
