I’m very happy to report that our client Empire Communities is nominated for two 2012 EnerQuality Awards of Excellence.
First, Empire Communities is nominated for EnerQuality’s ENERGY STAR for New Homes Builder of the Year award. Recognizing outstanding builders that have made a “corporate commitment to energy efficiency by labeling their homes under the ENERGY STAR for New Homes program,” this nomination makes BAM particularly proud, given that we played a key role in developing Empire Communities green brand, ECO². (What’s more, Empire Communities already won the 2011 ENERGY STARfor New Homes Builder of the Year.)

As recommended by BAM, Empire Communities’ green programs emphasize the concrete and immediate benefits homeowners can derive from them.
The second nomination is for The Building Innovation and Excellence Award, which recognizes builders who have “demonstrated technical excellence while implementing high performance building practices.”
In EnerQuality’s own words, “this year’s finalists have a long track record of innovation and epitomize the high level of technical skill it takes to be at the leading edge.”
I have written elsewhere about our nominations and awards, including our “green” nominees, in case you’re interested to learn more about how we do our best to rock our clients’ worlds.
