Canadian Home Builders Association Central Interior was named finalist in the Most Innovative Built Green BC Home for their Green Dream Home entry.

"I was not only impressed by the quality of the finalist projects, but also the degree of innovation demonstrated by the builders of these homes," stated Davide Bengert, Chair of Built Green TM Canada and judge for the awards.

"Kamloops is always well represented at the Awards," said Darryl Caunt, President of CHBA Central Interior. "We have very talented forward thinking builders and developers in our region as is evidenced by our showing in this new green focused awards competition."

"Since its introduction in BC, the Built Green TM BC program has flourished," shared Bob Deeks, President and Built Green TM Canada board member. "Today, there are 2,800 registered homes in BC (121 in the Central BC region) which combined save about 7,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually - this is the equivalent of removing 2,100 cars from BC roads each year."

Winners for the Built Green TM Canada awards will be announced at a gala dinner and awards ceremony on September 17, 2010 at the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel in Vancouver.

CHBA Central Interior is an active residential builder association of 200 members representing the Central Interior region of BC.
