eArthCrAft virginiA Sustainable housing across the Commonwealth is Green and growing Having certified 827 single-family homes and 25 multifamily projects—providing sustainable housing for 3,337 Virginia families—it’s no surprise that EarthCraft Virginia had its largest impact to date in 2011. Builder and developer partners across the state have recently noted an uptick in construction and clients and home buyers are demanding their homes be EarthCraft certified. With the launch of a new consumer-focused website, finding an EarthCraft builder is now easier than ever. According to a Cone Communications survey, 80 percent of Americans believe in the importance of third-party certification programs. Since consumers are increasingly concerned about benefits delivered with the EarthCraft House program, the staff and field personnel strive to provide the builder with a straightforward, affordable approach to green building. Statewide, EarthCraft technical advisers have been assigned projects so they can guide builders through the program. This onsite technical assistance is critical to help builders meet program requirements and improve subcontractor performance. It also provides third-party confirmation that can only be verified through energy-analysis modeling and diagnostic testing of every home. With the 2012 code mandates scheduled for adoption, the EarthCraft House program ensures current builders will be well prepared and will lead by example. These cutting-edge builders were recognized at EarthCraft Virginia’s third annual Sustainable Leadership Awards held in March. The event, which included a “Top 10 Most Energy Efficient House” countdown, showcased outstanding builders and projects while providing an opportunity for builders to learn from one another.
