Requirements
The Green Home Award is presented to a new home builder or developer member for outstanding environmental performance in a new single-detached home. The Green Build Award is for all new homes (production or custom ), but does not include homes built as research or demonstration projects with financial support from governments or other third parties for any aspect of the project.
It is anticipated that the energy and environmental performance of homes entered for this award will be significantly beyond building code requirements and conventional construction practices in the market area.
Eligibility: Entries may be submitted only by new home builders and developers who are members in good standing of the CHBA-NL for the 2023-2024 year. The dwelling unit referred to in entries must have been completed and available for sale, rent or occupancy between September 1, 2023 and September 30, 2024.
