SunTerra Homes Inc. earned a Silver Award in the Cold Climate Custom
Home category of the EVHA, which honors builders nationwide who voluntarily
integrate energy and resource efficiency into the design, construction
and marketing of new houses. It is sponsored by the National Association
of Home Builders Research Center, National Renewable Energy Laboratory
and the United States Department of Energy.
Company president and home designer Jim Chauncey said the award
is welcome recognition of the work SunTerra has accomplished for
the past 26 years.
Energy efficient design concepts won SunTerra the 1986 national award for energy
innovation from the US Department of Energy. The SunTerra system was chosen because
it offers a very high level of cost-effective energy savings along with superior
living comfort.
 DOE judges recognized the SunTerra home because
it incorporates features such as special design and site orientation
to control indoor
temperature. The home also incorporates innovative insulation value,
as well as energy efficient heating, cooling, lighting and appliances.
Jim Chauncey accepts the National Energy Award in Washington, DC
from Donna R. Fitzpatrick, Assistant Secretary of Conservation and
Renewable Energy, US Department of Energy.
