Builders Challenge

Credibility. Impact. Resources.

The Builders Challenge is helping to change the face of home energy efficiency by recognizing industry leaders and promoting the technical pathways to Net-Zero Energy for all Americans.

National partnerships with leading green building programs, including NAHB's National Green Building Program^TM, USGBC's LEED for Homes program, and MASCO's Environments for Living^®, enable builders to easily get multiple certifications and the recognition and differentiation they deserve for building the most durable, comfortable, and energy-efficient homes on the market.
Research programs and third-party verifiers, including DOE's Building America, RESNET, and Southface ensure that the best whole-house energy solutions developed in the laboratory are translated and installed properly in the field.
Real estate, utility, local government, financial, educational, manufacturing, and media partners create a network of locally available support to make it happen where it counts!

"The E-Scale is the coolest thing to come out. It gives a benchmark for improvement. It gives consumers an MPG for homes. In our rural markets people live in their houses longer and are very conscious of their energy use. They buy our houses because they are energy efficient, green, sustainable."
Tom Wade, Principal, Artistic Homes, Albuquerque, NM
