To recognize outstanding achievements in the rating industry, RESNET established the RESNET Rating Industry Achievement Awards. At the 2011 RESNET Building Performance Conference RESNET Board President David Goldstein presented the achievements awards selected by the RESNET Board of Directors.
The 2011 recipients are:
Advanced Energy RESNET Market Transformation Award
For almost a decade, Advanced Energy has been positively transforming the affordable housing market in North Carolina through its SystemVision program. As the only guaranteed affordable housing program in the nation, SystemVision homes are proven to be at least 15 percent more energy-efficient than code-built homes. In 2001, less than 10 percent of affordable single-family homes built in North Carolina had energy-efficient certifications. Now, more than 75 percent are SystemVision certified. These homes have diverted more than $1.7 million in energy costs from affordable housing homeowners in North Carolina.
Advanced Energy has been able to achieve such a significant transformation through partnerships with organizations such as the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA). Technical training and field support is provided to the more than 100 affordable housing developers who voluntarily participate in the program statewide, as well as their builders, contractors and raters. These training efforts, which transfer building science theory into practical solutions, have penetrated both urban and rural areas throughout the state, influencing businesses and organizations to step up their energy efficiency efforts. Through measurable data of high-quality affordable home performance, Advanced Energy has proven its commitment to the improvement of the North Carolina affordable housing market.
