The NAHB Research Center, a subsidiary of the National Association of Home Builders, has announced the start of the application period for the 2009 EnergyValue Housing Award (EVHA) program. The EVHA ceremony will be conducted during the 2009 International Builders' Show, which will be held January 20–23, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Awards will be presented in the affordable, custom, factory-built, production, and multifamily categories for hot, moderate, and cold climate regions. Entrees are evaluated based on the homes' energy value, design, construction methods and processes, marketing and customer relations efforts, and participation in voluntary energy programs.
The EVHA honors home builders who voluntarily integrate energy efficiency into the design, construction, and marketing of new homes, provides educational opportunities, and challenges builders to elevate standards for energy-efficient construction. For the past 14 years, EVHA achieved industry recognition as a signature award for the energy-efficiency elite.
All professional U.S. home builders whose primary occupation is constructing homes or developing real estate are eligible to participate. Previous winning projects are ineligible, but previous winners may submit new or different projects for consideration. For more information or to obtain an EVHA application, visit the 2009 EnergyValue Housing Award Web site or e-mail EVHA.
