Awards to Recognize Best Sustainable Practice

Professionals who are making exceptional contributions to sustainability will be recognized this fall by the Sustainable Building Industry Council, a non-profit trade association based in Washington, D.C. that is committed to advancing the design, affordability, energy performance and environmental soundness of the nation’s buildings.

The council’s “Best Sustainable Practice Award” goes to council members who demonstrate excellence in a wide variety of areas, including sustainable policy initiatives, innovations in the design and construction process, development of sustainable design curriculum, and innovations in products and technology.

The jurors for the award are:
