ecoMOD Project Receives Honorable Mention in P3 Competition


“Evaluating ecoMOD: Building Performance Monitoring and Post-Occupancy Evaluation of an Ecological, Modular House,” a component of the ecoMOD Project directed by Asst. Professor John Quale, received an honorable mention last night at the Environmental Protection Agency’s P3 Competition, a science and technology sustainability competition. The event was presided over by EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson, and the awards ceremony included speeches by Congressman Mark Udall (D-Colorado) and Charles O. Holliday, Jr., CEO of DuPont.

ecoMOD2 was featured in the local newspaper, The Hook, this week as a positive step toward aiding those displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
