On February 14, 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) challenged the homebuilding trade to construct 220,000 “high-performance” homes by 2012 that score 70 or lower on the EnergySmart Home Scale.To qualify as high-performance, a home must use 30%-or-less energy than a typical new home built per the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code. In early 2009, Next Gen 09 LLC, in partnership with the DOE Builders Challenge program, built a high-performance 5,200-square-foot (480 m2) demonstration home outside Las Vegas, Nevada.[16] The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that GigaCrete PlasterMax was used as the interior-wall finish of that high-performance Las Vegas home.
