AWARDS

GreenHome Awards 2008

The GreenHome aims to guide the national home building community toward healthier, high-performance design and construction while encouraging the public to embrace the many emerging opportunities to live in an ecologically sensitive way. The home utilizes a range of innovations to minimize its impact on the environment without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.

The 2008 GreenHome award winners are:

a) Raleigh Environmental Stewardship Award This is the overall award, given for a commitment to social, economic and environmental sustainability. The winner for 2008 was Cherokee with its LEED Platinum Office and Mainstream
GreenHome. Cherokee’s commitment to sustainability is embodied in the National Homebuilder Mainstream GreenHome and their corporate headquarters in downtown Raleigh.

b) Natural Resource Conservation Award: Winner is Wake County Energy Savers, Wake County Public School System Environmental Stewardship. Energy Savers play a vital role in the Wake County Public School System in terms of natural resource conservation and saving money on utilities.

c) Green Design: Winner-Brier Creek Elementary School & City of Raleigh Community Center. The new Brier Creek Elementary School and Community Center represents a unique opportunity for collaboration between Wake County Public Schools and the City of Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department, to develop an environmentally responsible, joint-use urban facility that minimizes use of resources and maximizes use of shared facilities like the community center, fields, trails and playground areas.

d) Environmental Awareness: Winner was Mary Ann Britain & the Prairie Ridge Ecostation for Wildlife and Learning. This Ecostation was established in 2004 by the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences for research and educational purposes. A major focus of the Prairie Ridge project is to provide a field station in the Triangle area for all North Carolina teachers and their students and the visiting public to learn about sustainable living and to experience the natural world.
