Eighth Annual Green Building Awards: 2010

Sustainable San Mateo County, County of San Mateo - RecycleWorks, and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) San Mateo County Chapter are sponsoring the Green Building Awards for 2010 for green and sustainable design and construction. The awards support sustainable design in architecture and recognize the architects, builders, and owners of green buildings in San Mateo County.

The Green Building Awards are open to any building constructed or remodeled within the last five (5) years and located in San Mateo County. Remodels and additions are also eligible to apply for the awards. The project must have completed its final inspection to qualify. Applications from projects previously awarded can qualify only if there have been substantial improvements.

The Green Building Award winners will be selected by an independent panel of recognized professionals in the disciplines of green and sustainable construction. The awards will be presented at Sustainable San Mateo County celebration dinner on March 11, 2010 at the South San Francisco Conference Center as part of the annual Sustainable San Mateo County Awards Program.
