The group won the Collaboration Award at this year’s VIBES 2012 for its Housing Innovation Showcase.
The £3.3m project saw Kingdom experiment with new construction technologies to discover the best methods and systems for mainstream affordable housing programmes.
The scheme saw twenty-seven new homes constructed in Dunfermline as part of a joint venture between Kingdom Housing Association and Fife Council.
It was supported by Fife Construction Forum, Green Business Fife, Campion Homes and local firms.
The Vision in Business for the Environment of Scotland (VIBES) awards programme works to award the commitment, actions and achievements of Scottish companies in reducing their impact on the environment.

Bill Banks, depute chief executive with Kingdom, said: "Our Housing Innovation Showcase Project tried to demonstrate how a modern approach to sustainable construction could be mainstreamed in the future and this involved working in partnership with a range of private, public and voluntary groups."
Gillian Bruce, VIBES chair, said: "I would like to congratulate Kingdom Housing Association Ltd on its award win. The company’s hard work and dedication has made a significant contribution to Scotland achieving its 2020 carbon reduction targets.
"Our judges were very impressed with their commitment to reducing the environmental impact of the business and I would encourage other businesses across the country to follow this lead."
Sarah Deas, chief executive, Co-operative Development Scotland, which supports the VIBES awards, added: "Earlier this year we released our 'Collaboration Cuts Carbon' report. This outlined the potential for companies to help achieve the Scottish Government’s 2020 energy reduction targets by working more closely together, particularly as a consortium co-operative.
"It’s fantastic to see a Scottish business like Kingdom Housing Association Ltd reap both the environmental and financial benefits of working with a collaborative approach at such an early stage."
