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><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Building Science for Building Enclosures</span></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><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>The Lifetime Achievement Award in Building Science Education is a joint effort between the NCHRC and the U.S. Department of Energy to advance the state of building science curricula across the United States and Canada."</span><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Well done and well deserved,</span><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Habib</span><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>*****************************************<br>SUSTAINABLEWORKS<br>Habib John L Gonzalez<br>RR#1, S-4, C-12<br>Crescent Valley, BC<br>Canada V0G 1H0<br>250-359-5095 <br>780-438-0821<br><a href="http://www.sustainableworks.ca">www.sustainableworks.ca</a><br>*****************************************<br><br>"Better the kindness of imperfection than perfection without kindness" <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>GSBN mailing list<br><a href="mailto:GSBN@sustainablesources.com">GSBN@sustainablesources.com</a><br><a href="http://sustainablesources.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/GSBN">http://sustainablesources.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/GSBN</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
