CONFERENCE ATTENDEES SELECT WINNER OF OUTSTANDING
GREEN PRODUCT AWARD
March 26, 2002, Seattle, Wash. - As part of the closing
ceremonies for the fourth annual National Green Building Conference in
Seattle, the attendee-selected winner of the Outstanding Green Product
Award was announced. Conference attendees submitted their ballots and
selected from among the products of 10 of this year's exhibitors. And the
winner is...TR Strong Building Systems, Inc., distributor of GFX
Drainwater Heat Recovery systems.
This award, which is presented to the exhibiting company at the National
Green Building Conference that attendees feel has the greatest impact on
advancing the cause of resource-efficient home construction, is part of the
National Green Building Awards program. The awards program debuted at last
year's conference, and the NAHB Research Center presented the first full
slate of National Green Building Awards winners this March.
TR Strong describes the GFX graywater/wastewater heat recovery unit as a very
simple plumbing device that has no moving parts, is self-cleaning, and
works on existing water pressure and gravity. Some units can recycle over
60% of the heat in the hot wastewater going down the drain and can triple
electric water heater capacity. The company also says GFX is very
beneficial in commercial and industrial applications with large volumes of
hot process water.
Other than the on-site ballot-based selection of the Outstanding Green
Product recipient, winners of five categories were selected for the
National Green Building Awards program for 2002. Judging for these five
awards took place at the NAHB Research Center in January:
