The Award competition recognizes achievements in building design. As a team member on many of the winning projects Two Trails Inc. is proud to be a part of the client teams that were nominated and won an Aurora Award.
The Aurora Awards is a competitive award competition held during SEBC (Southeast Builders Conference). Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA) sponsors the Award competition; one of the largest associations of it’s kind. The Aurora Award design competition is presented to outstanding builders, planners, architects, developers, designers, and interior merchandisers within a twelve state southeastern and eastern Caribbean region.
The design competition since it’s inception thirty-four years ago, continues to grow and honor residential and commercial designers and builders in 135 categories. Categories consist of Commercial, Residential, Price Point, Energy Efficiency, Green Building and many more. The builders in the categories also recognize major Team members on the project. Two Trails Inc.-Green Building Consulting is proud to be a part of fifty (50) 2014 Aurora Awards this year.
An Aurora Award can be awarded to one entrant in each of the 135 categories. However on top of the 135 categories there are Grand Aurora awards based on sub categories and one (this year there was a tie so there is two) Golden Aurora Award for the whole Award competition. This year the Golden Aurora was awarded to the best Green/Energy Efficient featured project instead of past years selection of a design project. Two Trails is proud of Josh Wynne Construction & Jonathan Parks Architect for winning the Golden Aurora this year and is happy to be a part of the team on this project.
“We are thrilled to be a part of our client’s success this year. Especially this year for the first time the Golden Aurora Award was based on green/energy efficient features whereas past years based on design. Two Trails was a chosen team member in client projects that received a combined total of 50 Aurora Awards. Our success is dependent upon our clients’ success. We love seeing our partners exceed, especially in the green categories!” stated Drew Smith, President of Two Trails Inc.

About Drew Smith | Two Trails, Inc. was founded in 2001, by an innovative builder who set out to change the methodology of conventional building science. Drew realized that the only way to change the industry was to become the resource for the knowledge on how to implement healthy, sustainable projects. He “hung up his hammer” and opened one of the first green building, consulting firms in the nation.
By helping to develop standards for the American Lung Association, National Home Builders Association, Florida Green Building Coalition, and USGBC LEED for Homes by either writing the standard or testing the viability of the standard in the field, he was able to provide his firm with a thorough understanding of the science of building sustainable, healthy, environmentally conscious, and affordable solutions for the building industry. He was “green” before “green” was more than a color. Our President, Drew M. Smith, LEED AP BD+C, was the founding President of the Florida Green Building Coalition and is the first Governor appointed Green Building Commissioner for the State of Florida. Two Trails, Inc. provides hands-on consulting making it easy to achieve certification.
About Two Trails, Inc. | Two Trails, Inc. is one of the nations premier Green Building Consulting firm established in 2001. We provide green consulting services nationwide for commercial, residential, remodeling, and developments seeking to obtain LEED certification and/or LEED commissioning by USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council), National Green Building Standard (NGBS), Energy Star by the U.S. Department of Energy, & Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) certifications.

Two Trails client Matt Lahn owner of Florida Green Home Design Group won the USGBC South Florida GalaVerde Green Award for Most Outstanding LEED for Homes/Single Family for their work on the 2020 Alton project in Miami, FL. To our knowledge this project is the highest scoring LEED home in the nation with 120/80 points earned giving it a LEED Platinum designation.
The 2020 Alton project is a sleek, super-modern beauty — all concrete, glass, high-end European appliances, and high-tech bells and whistles. The project is about 3,200 square feet and it’s luxurious. The home, which for most days is net-zero, will also boast a minimal environmental footprint, a rarity in the area for new builds. The compact and efficient design of this home manages to fit five bedrooms and five bathrooms in just 3,200 sq. ft. Nestled on a site of 58x120 and with setbacks imposed by the city, the design sought to take advantage of these dimensions by making the main portion of the home a cube, which would be setback substantially from the busy street. An exposed masonry wall further protects the house by wrapping it on the north and west while creating a private courtyard for swimming and a balcony with views of the golf course across the street.
The home includes a dual 600-watt vertical axis wind turbine, a geothermal heating and cooling system, 7,000-gallon rainwater cistern, and a HERS rating of -8. And then there’s the 11.5-kilowatt rooftop solar array composed of frameless photovoltaic panels produced by 1SolTech. This project is among the first building projects, residential or commercial, to utilize these innovative, American-made solar panels. Given its Miami location and rough weather situations, the project's renewable energy systems are storm-resistant: the solar panels are rated for 160 mph winds and the turbines easily collapsible for when things outside get too windy. Additionally, there’s a back-up battery system and the aluminum framed, low-E windows from CGI are built to withstand Category 5-strength hurricane winds. A very unique feature is the rainwater cistern and the home’s reflecting pool are both lined with a nontoxic epoxy called Pond Armor that renders the water potable in the event of emergencies.
Other green specs of the 2020 Alton project include LED lighting throughout, sustainable wood custom cabinetry from Poggenpohl, WaterSense-qualified Toto faucets and fixtures, recycled glass countertops from Vetrazzo, Sherwin Williams low-VOC paints and finishes, and Icynene spray foam insulation. Outside, there’s Resyta decking and a pool equipped with an EcoSmarte water purification system that eliminates the need for chemicals. Last but not least the projects home's Walk Score of 85 is beyond excellent. South Beach is a short stroll away.
Green achievements for 2020 Alton:
- United States Green Building Council: LEED for Homes, LEED Platinum Designation
- Home Innovation Research Labs: ICC 700 National Green Building Standard EMERALD (highest level), indicating that the home saves 60% or more of its energy use.
- HERS (Home Energy Rating System) Index: -8 (100 is normal for new construction)
- Named an Energy Star® Qualified Home.

Two Trails was also the chosen consultants/verifiers for The NAHB 2013 New American Home showcase home featuring a local builder/design team Blue Heron and products and services from companies on the Leading Suppliers Council.
The NAHB Green Awards were held on January 23, 2013 at the Chateau Nightclub & Gardens in the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. The EcoDisco theme celebrated this past years green building achievement for Advocates of the Year and Green Projects of the Year in single-family, multifamily and remodeling. Two Trails Green Building Consulting were awarded two awards at the event held during the conference.
The first award was given to Drew Smith President of Two Trails for Advocate of the Year. Drew was highlighted for more than a decade he has been helping professionals by providing leadership of sustainability by volunteering time and knowledge to teach and inform about high performance building. Through their commitment to green building Drew & Two Trails has established themselves as leaders in the green building movement. “Drew’s passion to educate the industry on sustainability is helping those around the country build and live to a higher standard.”, judges quote.
The second award for Two Trails was given for Project of the Year: Multifamily. Seabourn Cove is located in Boynton Beach, FL. The project builder is FM Contract Service, Designer Marc Weiner, and developer Gulfstream Gardens Inc. Seabourn Cove is one of the largest multifamily projects to receive the Gold level of the ICC 700 National Green Building Standard (NGBS). The multiple-phase project will result in 456 units on 23 acres of land. The two and three story buildings range from single flats of about 800 sq/ft to three bedroom units that have garages to accommodate a wide variety of occupancy situations for families. Rick Lococo and Matt London from FM Contract Services were on hand to accept the award with Drew Smith for the Seabourn Cove Project.
Two Trails was also chosen for a third year to be the Green Building Consultants and verifiers for The NAHB 2013 New American Home and has been chosen to be on The 2014 New American Home project team. The New American Home is one of NAHB’s most successful and visible programs produced and presented by the NAHB Leading Suppliers Council. The design, construction and amenities are market driven, and showcase the latest in innovative products for the future of home building. The show home demonstrates “Builders' Best Practices:" concepts, materials, designs and construction techniques that can be replicated – in whole or in part – in housing built any place and in any price range. Incorporating such elements as the ICC 700
National Green Building Standard, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, safety and universal design as well as market value is a principal goal of The New American Home program. Its mission is to show that housing performance can be incorporated into the most simple or most complex homes, and that it’s equally as important as aesthetics. The Homes Design/Build Team, Blue Heron, introduced many unique and cutting edge design elements while keeping in mind the importance of incorporating green building techniques. With the advisement of Two Trails the home was able to achieve a National Green Building Standard Emerald level designation, USGBC LEED Platinum designation and EPA Indoor AirPlus designation.
About Drew Smith | Two Trails, Inc. was founded in 2001, by an innovative builder who set out to change the methodology of conventional building science.
