Lake City, Colo., June 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Builder Media announces the release of its annual survey of brand leaders in the housing industry, Green Builder Media’s Brand Index. A data-driven snapshot of the industry, the survey reveals the brands that building professionals trust most.
“To arrive at a fair estimate of a given brand’s perceived “value” in the market, we combine three metrics: survey data, public sentiment, and market visibility or 'mentions,'" explains Green Builder Editor-in-Chief Matt Power. “We weighted and averaged these scores to arrive at a company’s comparative rank.”
When this year's number-crunching concluded, it became clear that a year of anxiety and change had shifted the public’s mental state in unpredictable ways: Consumer and builder attitudes toward housing and “green” living opened some doors and slammed shut others for manufacturers.
A few big-name players fell behind, not even making the top five within their category, while other, lesser-known companies hit the brand heights for the first time.
Here are a few standout manufacturers that garnered top rankings this year:
- Trane reclaimed its top spot in the HVAC category after a dip to second place on the 2021 list. Editors note that this was accomplished because the company was able to relay its product performance in a way that separated it from competitors and resonated with both builders and consumers.
- In the Door category, Therma-Tru continued a winning streak: The company has been the number-one brand for four years because of its innovation in both architectural design and product performance.
