Deadline Approaching For Green Building Entries
In keeping with the spirit of “green” the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) announced that this year’s submissions for the organization’s National Green Building Awards must be in electronic form – submitted by mail on compact disc. The entry postmark deadline is Jan. 31, 2009. There will be an award dinner during NAHB’s National Green Building Conference on May 8th in Dallas. The categories are:
- Advocate of the Year
- Green Project of the Year
- Green Development of the Year
- HBA Green Building Program of the year
- Local Government Award
Projects have to have been started after June 2007 and substantially complete by December 2008. All single family homes have to be scored using the NAHB Model Green Home Building Guidelines or the National Green Building Standard. You can use a scoring tool here that generates and saves the checklist to a disc.
