Green Homes Australia CEO & Founder Mick Fabar has been presented with the 2019 Silver Global Innovation Award at the International Builders Show in Las Vegas. 

A franchise construction company based in Orange, NSW, Green Homes Australia is the only new home builder in Australia who is certified and compliant with the ISO 50001 international standard. 

ISO 50001 requires organisations to develop an energy management system, or policy, with the primary purpose of using energy more efficiently. Green Homes Australia properties are designed, built, and audited to ensure every component conforms to strict energy management guidelines. Consumers benefit from energy-efficient homes and lower energy costs, with Green Home Australia’s properties being affordable and comfortable with enhanced control of the home environment, finished to extremely high standards.

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Global Innovation Award honours the most innovative projects, products and services disrupting the global residential industry. Entrants are judged on innovation, functionality, good design, sustainability, whether their product or service is builder or consumer-friendly, and if it is successfully marketed in a unique way. The finalists were announced by the NAHB on January 7, 2020, and the winners on January 22, 2020.

Receiving the Award means Green Homes Australia has been given global recognition for building energy-efficient, sustainable, longer-lasting homes that lessen the impact on the environment. 

Mick Fabar told WILLIAMS MEDIA, "We're incredibly thrilled and honored as this award brings credibility to our green training program and quality home building standards; which is for builders, built by a builder." 

Green Homes Australia operates internationally in New Zealand and the US, where they are known as GH Builders USA. With more than 50 offices globally, Green Homes Australia has developed and trademarked their process, placing them among the world leaders in true green home construction.

With over 90 energy-efficient home designs to choose from, customers can also choose to design their own dream home to suit their budget, block, climate, and lifestyle. They receive advice and guidance from a local Green Homes Australia builder to ensure an outstanding result.

And, with demand for environmentally friendly homes increasing across Australia, the industry-leading construction company is offering builders an opportunity to benefit from the brand and join Green Homes Australia as a franchisee.
