These high performance home builders were recognized as being among the first group of 25 builders from throughout the US who have pledged to participate in the U. S. Department of Energy's Builders Challenge (www.buildingamerica.gov). The Honorable Samuel W. Bodman, Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy and Alexander "Andy" Karsner, Assistant Secretary, Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy presented a voluntary challenge to the homebuilding industry — to build 220,000 high performance homes by 2012. These leading builders joined the Secretary on stage to "take the challenge" to build homes that are between 70 and 0 on the EnergySmart Home Scale (E-Scale). The E-Scale allows homebuyers to understand — at a glance — how the energy performance of a particular home compares with others. Through the Builders Challenge, participating homebuilders will have an easy way to differentiate their best energy-performing homes from other products in the marketplace, and to make the benefits clear to buyers.
