NAHB Research Center Extends EnergyValue Housing Award Application Deadline

July 8, 2010, Upper Marlboro, Md. - The NAHB Research Center announces a deadline extension for the 2011 EnergyValue Housing Award New Home application, now due July 30, 2010. This was done to accommodate renovations described in the Existing Home competition as: projects that include additions larger than 75% of the existing building or dwelling unit's conditioned floor area – which are considered new construction and should be submitted in the appropriate EVHA New Home category.

The extension also provides additional time for New Home builders to complete applications for their projects, so those contractors who missed the original June 30 deadline still have time to enter the competition!

Don't miss this opportunity to enter the nation’s most prestigious residential energy award competition.

Applications for the 2011 EnergyValue Housing Award New and Existing Home competitions are being accepted electronically until Friday, July 30, 2010. Hard copies of the applications must arrive at the NAHB Research Center no later than August 2, 2010. Please refer to the Instructions for each application for required materials and documentation. Applicants are encouraged to submit supporting materials on CDs or flash drives but must provide three (3) copies of the completed application in their entry packets. Applications can be downloaded at www.nahbrc.com/evha

Please contact Debra Sagan, EVHA Program Coordinator at 800-638-8556 ext. 6210 with questions or for help in completing the applications.
