LEED Homes Power Builders are an elite group of developers and builders that have exhibited an outstanding commitment to LEED and the green building movement within the residential sector.
“Year after year, the LEED Homes Awards showcase the most inspired and efficient practices in the residential green building movement. This year is no different,” said Mahesh Ramanujam, president and CEO, USGBC. “We know that comfort, safety, and security are important to every homeowner and resident and we are proud that LEED homes provide these and so much more. They are clean, efficient, financially sound and beautiful spaces that serve as backdrops for the lives of so many. The LEED Homes Award winners and their projects exemplify what it means to create a home that balances aesthetic appeal with real human and environmental needs.”
