EcoLumina in partnership with the Southern Building Show, announced the initial sponsors for the 2008 Showcase Home, EcoLumina, the first Southern Building Showcase Home to be LEED-certified.

The initial sponsors are: Cosella Dorken, Icynene, Kohler, Rinnai, Superior Walls, Vanguard/Viega, and Water Furnace.

"Since 2005, our showcase homes have been one of the most anticipated aspects of the Southern Building Show. The home gives you the perfect opportunity to personally demonstrate your products installed and operating in a completed environment to over 7000 industry professionals." said Ken Kanline, president, Southern Builder Show.

EcoLumina will be one of the first high-performance, LEED-certified demonstration houses built in the country. Since green building is among the hottest topics worldwide, EcoLumina is sure to amass considerable media and show attendee attention.

In addition to show attendee exposure, the www.EcoLumina.org website will, on a long-term basis, include in-depth information about green building specifically hi-lighting our sponsor’s products. The construction of EcoLumina will also be covered in the Sustainable Home section of Environmental Design+Construction magazine and in Today’s Custom Home.

After the show, the owners will continue to open the house to trade, consumer and legislative groups in order to further their dedication to green building education.
