If you have a top-flight green building, it’s time to get some recognition. The SBIC (Sustainable Buildings Industry Council, Washington) has issued a call for entries for the 2010 Beyond Green High-Performance Building Awards. The awards program recognizes “the initiatives that shape, inform and catalyze the high-performance building market, as well as the real-world application of high-performance design and construction practices.”
Award winners present their projects on Capitol Hill as part of an educational briefing for lawmakers and the public. The briefing is held in conjunction with the High-Performance Buildings Congressional Caucus (HPBCC) and the High-Performance Buildings Congressional Caucus Coalition.
The 2010 Beyond Green Awards program will also feature an afternoon session and expanded poster session, held at Catholic University’s School of Architecture and Planning, Washington. Area students and local building practitioners will have an opportunity to understand winning projects in greater detail, ask questions, and earn AIA CES credits. Winning projects will also be published on the Whole Building Design Guide website, which is managed by the National Institute of Building Sciences.
