Waterloo</SPAN><SPAN> has received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Building
Science Education from the National Consortium of Housing Research Centers
(NCHRC). Straube received the award as part of the Energy Value in Housing
Awards event at the International Builders Show in Orlando on February 8, 2012.
Cornell Professor Joseph Laquatra, NCHRC Chair, said of Straube when he
presented him with the award, "John has been deeply involved in the areas of
building enclosure design, moisture physics, and whole building performance as a
researcher, educator, and consultant. Dr. Straube is co-author of the 2005 book,
<EM>Building Science for Building Enclosures</EM>. His work in teaching building
science is exemplary and is preparing a generation of engineers to produce
buildings that are energy efficient, healthy, comfortable, and durable."</SPAN>
