Home Innovation Research Labs Recognizes NGBS Green Partners of Excellence
Today, in anticipation of conveying its 100,000th NGBS Green home certification, Home Innovation Research Labs recently recognized 100 NGBS Green Partners for outstanding contributions to advancing green building in their communities and commitment to voluntary, market-driven, third-party certification of high-performance homes. The 2016-2017 Home Innovation NGBS Green Partners of Excellence include 54 residential building and development companies; 18 accredited verifiers; 16 architectural firms; and 12 exemplary program advocates from across the country. New to the mix this year are two lending companies among the advocates.
“As the home building market continues its rebound,” said Home Innovation president and CEO Michael Luzier, “dedicated partners like these prove that participating in our rigorous third-party certification program isn’t a gimmick or a passing fad – it’s a strategic business decision that is paying dividends and changing the residential marketplace. Others around the industry could certainly benefit from following the lead of these outstanding NGBS Green Partners and building on their success.”
The Partners of Excellence awards provide an opportunity for Home Innovation Research Labs to recognize the leadership, innovation, and excellence of its NGBS Green Certification Program partners and other champions of credible green building in the residential sector.
