PORT SAINT LUCIE, Fla., May 14, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- SNI | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Time is running out for viewers to enter the 2009 HGTV Green Home Giveaway. Fans can still enter to win the HGTV Green Home grand prize package valued at $750,000 once per day on HGTV.com or as often as they wish by regular mail until Friday, June 5, 2009 at 5 p.m. This year's home, located in Tradition, FL, received a significant Platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification and earned the Indoor airPLUS label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The 2009 HGTV Green Home, a 2,430-square-foot contemporary Spanish-style cottage which features construction and design elements that contribute to an energy efficient, cleaner and healthier living environment, will be presented to one lucky viewer during a special broadcast on Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. ET.

The Platinum LEED certification signifies that the HGTV Green Home meets stringent standards for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, indoor environmental quality and innovative design. LEED for Homes, a voluntary rating system, is a project of the U.S. Green Building Council.

To earn the Indoor airPLUS label, a home must meet strict guidelines set by the EPA for reducing poor indoor air quality and have third-party verification. The 2009 HGTV Green Home includes more than 30 additional design and construction features for moisture control, radon control, pest barriers, improved heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, combustion pollutant control and low emission materials. These features help protect the homeowners from a host of health problems associated with poor indoor air quality, including eye irritation, allergies, headaches, and respiratory problems such as asthma. As an Indoor airPLUS qualified home, the HGTV Green Home also meets guidelines for energy efficiency set by the EPA's ENERGY STAR program. For more information, visit www.epa.gov/indoorairplus.

"We have heard from many of our viewers that they are interested in hearing more about green lifestyles," said HGTV President Jim Samples. "We are proud of the HGTV Green Home because it provides an excellent showcase of accessible and eco-friendly approaches to living."
