Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the grand winners of the 2023 Housing Innovation Awards during a ceremony at the Energy & Environmental Building Alliance (EEBA) High Performance Home Building Summit in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Housing Innovation Awards recognize leading builders from across the country who are constructing Zero Energy Ready Homes (ZERH), the federal government’s highest certification program for home performance. Homes certified to the ZERH program deliver truly best-in-class performance, providing American homeowners with exceptional value, quality, and comfort. 

"Thanks to the leadership and entrepreneurial spirit of these dedicated builders who have worked for years with DOE’s Zero Energy Ready Home program, more than 10,000 of these homes have been built, bringing cleaner, healthier, more durable, and more sustainable dwellings to communities across the country,” said BTO Director Mandy Mahoney.
