Construction company Hammer & Hand published a reminder today to architectural students and interns in the US and Canada that submissions for the perFORM 2014 House Design Competition are due Monday, March 24, 2014. The competition challenges participants to design a single-family house that fuses aggressive energy efficiency with beautiful design. A jury of leading Northwest architects, builders and educators will evaluate and select winners.
The perFORM design jury will judge entries based on two criteria: energy performance and design quality. Participants will submit an energy performance analysis of their entry using the perFORM Verification Tool, showing each design’s predicted Energy Use Intensity, or EUI. Design quality will be judged based on “resourcefulness, replicability, and beauty.”
The perFORM jury includes:
- Daniel Friedman, College of Built Environments, University of Washington
- Jim Graham, Graham Baba Architects
- Sam Hagerman, Hammer & Hand
- Gladys Ly-Au Young, Sundberg Kennedy Ly-Au Young Architects
