Eleven builders, remodelers and other home-building-industry professionals were honored as winners of the National Green Building Awards by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

The awards were presented Monday during the 14th annual National Green Building Conference held in Nashville, Tenn.

“These awards recognize the best and most innovative builders and remodelers in green building”, said NAHB Chairman Barry Rutenberg, a home builder from Gainesville, Fla.

“The demand for green building is growing in leaps and bounds, and these winners set a great example of what can be accomplished in terms of sustainable and energy efficient building practices.”
