SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Every year, hundreds of exhibitors come to PCBC in San Francisco to market their best and most innovative products to the nation's top homebuilders – products designed to help improve the homebuilding process, make a new home more inviting to a prospective buyer, and help improve the sustainability of our communities. Now in its eighth year, PCBC's Cool Products competition seeks to highlight those products that have that extra "cool" factor that makes builders and consumers take notice. This year's competition was divided into four categories: Conserves Natural Resources; Contributes to a Healthier, Safer Living Environment; A New, Cool Invention; and Saves Energy. A select panel of industry experts, including homebuilders, media, and architects, reviewed the finalists in each of the four categories and voted to determine which products were the "coolest of the cool." "We like providing our exhibitors with a chance to showcase their groundbreaking new products in a little friendly competition, especially if it helps them to succeed in this difficult marketplace," said Linda Baysari, Senior Vice President, Meetings & Convention, PCBC. "This is a fun way to draw attention to some new and exciting products while shining the spotlight on our innovative and creative exhibitors." The winners will be among the hundreds of exhibitors displaying their new and innovative products at PCBC, which takes place June 17-19 at San Francisco's Moscone Center. Each winner will have a special "Cool Products Winner" award displayed in their exhibit, and there will be kiosks displaying the winners with respective booth numbers to direct people to the appropriate exhibitors.
