Along with our sponsors, Sustainable Building Industry Council (SBIC) is seeking nominations for the 2011 Beyond Green High-Performance Building Awards. This program recognizes buildings, initiatives and products that shape, inform and catalyze the high-performance building market. This year's deadline for entries is November 15.
The winners of the Beyond Green High-Performance Building Awards will be invited to present their projects on Capitol Hill as part of an educational briefing for lawmakers and the public. This presentation and poster session gives winners an opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities for delivering better buildings with policymakers.
The program will also feature an afternoon session held Catholic University's School of Architecture and Planning. Area students and local building practitioners will have the opportunity to understand winning projects in greater detail, and ask questions.
Winning projects will also be published on the Whole Building Design Guide web site (www.wbdg.org). Additional recognition will include an announcement in SBIC's newsletter, a plaque, posting on the council's web site and inclusion in SBIC technical guidelines and publications.
