U.S. Department of Energy - Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

Building Technologies Program – Builders Challenge

Current Builders

When builders agree to join the Builders Challenge, they will commit to constructing homes that rate 70 or better on the EnergySmart Home Scale (E-Scale) and that deliver comfort, quality, durability, and a healthy indoor environment consistent with the Department of Energy's Building America performance criteria (PDF 158 KB) Download Adobe Reader.

Participating builders are asked to post the E-Scale on the power panel of each qualifying house, and to voluntarily report the number of high performance homes they construct or start by 2012 that meet Builders Challenge criteria.

The following builders have taken the Challenge – for more information on building a Builders Challenge home, contact the builders directly via their Web sites.
