National Honor - River Rock Builders of LR, AR Nominated for LEED Project of the Year



Vote for Owen Residence - LEED Project of the Year


 Owen Residence • Little Rock, Arkansas
Built by River Rock Builders, the Owen Residence is a dream project for owners Ann and Rick Owen, who wanted to build the healthiest and most sustainable home possible. In March 2018, their home achieved LEED Platinum status with sustainability features like 42 PV solar panels, which provide all the energy needed to power the 2,662-square-foot house and two vehicles, greatly reducing the home's carbon footprint.
On June 20, US Green Building Council announced the recipients of the 2018 LEED Homes Awards, which celebrates residential projects, developers and builders using LEED to improve quality of life and create healthier and more resilient communities. The Owen's Residence by River Rock Builders is one of 14 homes.
This year, for the first time, USGBC is opening up voting for the Project of the Year—the winner will be selected as "people’s choice." Project of the Year recognizes a LEED-certified project for outstanding performance in the LEED rating system and for particular innovation above and beyond the scope, requirements and prerequisites of LEED.
The online poll is now open. Learn more about each of the finalists and vote for your favorite project below. Voting will close at 11:59 p.m. EST on June 28, and the winner will be announced in July. Click on this link or above to vote now.
