Who says it's not easy being green? Green Builders™ has been selected as the 2008 Single Family Affordable Home of the Year at the National Green Building Awards held by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

Now in its 10th year, the National Green Building Awards recognizes individuals, companies and organizations for excellence in residential green design, construction practices and for green building programs and advocacy efforts. Competition for this award was particularly intense, but Green Builders stood out amongst the nominees for their continued innovation and advancement in the field of environmentally sustainable home building, a hot topic throughout the housing market.

"We were thrilled to be nominated. We are even more thrilled that we won. I think that this award speaks to how important environmentally sustainable home building has become nationwide. We look at this as not just a win for our company, but a win for the green movement and those in our industry who truly care about the efficient use of natural resources when building homes," stated Clark Wilson, President and CEO of Green Builders, Inc.

Green Builders, Inc. incorporates energy efficiency, water and resource conservation, the use of sustainable and/or recycled materials, and indoor air quality control — all of which are considered when evaluating a green home. In addition, Green Builders' homes are built to the stringent Green Building Standards set by NAHB.

Green Builders' energy efficient and sustainable, green homes are priced from the $180,000s to $600,000s and available throughout the Austin area.
