WASHINGTON D.C. – December 11, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — Be there to honor the winners of the 2015 Beyond Green™ High-Performance Building and Community Awards. The National Institute of Building Sciences Sustainable Buildings Industry Council (SBIC) will recognize the 2015 winners on Thursday, January 14, 2016, from 12:00 to 1:30 pm, at the Beyond Green™ Awards Luncheon, sponsored by the Illuminating Engineering Society, held during Building Innovation 2016: The National Institute of Building Sciences Fourth Annual Conference and Expo. Witness the winners as they accept their awards, hear them highlight their projects and congratulate them on their success.

The Beyond Green™ High-Performance Building and Community Awards program highlights those initiatives that shape, inform and catalyze the high-performance planning, design, construction and operations processes.

The 2015 Awards are as follows:

  • The Honor Award in Category A: High-Performance Buildings will go to the United Nations Headquarters in New York, New York for its sustainable renovation project.
  • The Award of Merit in Category A: High-Performance Buildings will go to the Center for Sustainable Landscapes at the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
  • The Award of Merit in Category C: High-Performance Initiatives will go to the Efficient Homes Initiative of the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance and its utility partners.

The Beyond Green™ Awards recognize buildings, initiatives and innovations that best exemplify the eight design objectives of a high-performance building: sustainability, accessibility, aesthetics, cost-effectiveness, functionality, productivity, historical sensitivity, and safety and security. Resilience falls within the ‘safety and security’ attribute, which promotes designing and constructing buildings that resist natural and man-made hazards.
