The deadline for SBIC's 2011 Beyond Green has been extended. The new deadline for submissions is Tuesday, November 22 at 5:00 PM Eastern. This is an excellent opportunity to gain recognition for your high-performance building, initiative or product.
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 2011 Award 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 handsome plaque, posting on the Council's Web site and inclusion in SBIC technical guidelines and publications.
If you have any questions about the program, please contact Kimberly Lowry by phone at (202) 628-7400, extension 200 or by email at: sbic@sbicouncil.org.
