Local Company Awarded Builder Advocate of the Year in the 2012 NAHB Green Building Awards

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 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.”

The awards were presented during the Muddy Boots Mixer, a special networking and awards event, and one of the highlights of the three-day conference, which featured educational programs, an exhibition of green products and a tour of local green homes.

Two awards were given to individuals or organizations for their efforts in green building advocacy:

The Mungo Companies of Irmo, S.C. for Builder Advocate of the Year
G STREET of Scottsdale, Ariz., as Remodeler Advocate of the Year

The Mungo Companies are members of the HBA of Greater Columbia, the Green Building Council of Greater Columbia, the Columbia Remodelers council and the Columbia Sales & Marketing Council. They have made a commitment to build all of their new homes, over 800 per year, with high efficiency and performance standards.
