International Builder's Show - Sunday

Bob Thornton and I just got back from the NAHB Green Building Subcommittee Meeting which was held at the Convention Center in advance of the show.

Part of the meeting was a powerpoint presentation by Calli Schmidt from the NAHB Public Relations Department. Her presentation was on the positive press coverage that NAHB has gotten about Green Building in the last year.

She showed the News Journal Article about Thompson Homes, she showed a clip from Bob Thornton’s interview on WHYY TV and she showed Benchmark Builders brochure and mentioned that all of the projects were in Delaware. She mentioned that Delaware had a Certified home in each county and was the first State to reach such a milestone. She then mentioned that JCM Environmental had been the verifier for all of the Delaware homes!!! WOW!

After the meeting we talked to some of the NAHB staff and introduced ourselves and they all asked the same question….Where is Howard? JCM and Howard have made quite a name for ourselves with NAHB with regard to Green Building……it is great to be on the cutting edge of this movement.
