2022 Earth Advantage Awards

Oregon sustainable builders rake in awards for climate-friendly homes

The Earth Advantage Awards (formerly Green Builder of the Year) are given to builders who are exceeding requirements for energy efficiency, indoor air quality and more – including building Zero Energy homes, which are homes that generate at least as much energy as they consume.

"We appreciate all of the project teams that participate in the Earth Advantage program, and we are honored to help them achieve their goals. These select winners are leaders in helping to normalize healthy and sustainable building and lead the industry in best practices.We expect even more of these kinds of projects in 2023 now that Congress has approved a number of new incentives as part of the Inflation Reduction Act”
—Rebecca Heilig, Director of Carbon-free Construction

Meet the Judges for the 2022 Earth Advantage Awards


 

Amanda Ingmire

Amanda Ingmire (she/her) is a connector, convener, and collaborative strategist. She is a Licensed Architect and Senior Policy Analyst at the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) where her work is focused on addressing the full life cycle impacts of the built environment while centering equity, racial justice, and wellbeing. She conducts research, develops projects and programs, consults on state building projects, serves as an advisor and provides expert testimony to boards, commissions, businesses, and government entities, and collaborates with many partners to advance a holistic, systems approach to addressing some of our biggest challenges.

Ren DeCherney

Ren is a licensed interior designer who uses her first-hand experience of the complexities of the building industry to help designers and manufacturers translate their sustainability pledges into reality. She worked at the International Living Future Institute, overseeing the Declare and Living Product Challenge programs where she worked with both designers and manufacturers to understand the current market incentives for sustainable practices and how to implement sustainability strategy into everyday practices. She’s quite possibly the only person who loves talking sustainability but doesn’t like being in nature itself.
