"In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in green building, and the industry has responded by designing and constructing high-performance homes that reflect not only green and energy efficient principles, but also innovative design," said NAHB Chairman Rick Judson, a home builder from Charlotte, N.C. "Each year, NAHB recognizes the very best work in this sector in its NAHBGreen Awards."

Entries must be received by Oct. 15. Projects must have been started and finished within the last three years. Awards will be announced Feb. 5, 2014 at the International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.
