2009 Annual Green Building Awards

Sustainable San Mateo County, County of San Mateo, RecycleWorks, and the AIA San Mateo County Chapter are sponsoring the seventh annual Green Building Awards. These awards are given to projects that promote green, sustainable design and construction. The awards support environmentally friendly design in architecture and recognize the architects, builders, and owners of these green buildings in San Mateo County.

The Green Building Awards is 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. To apply for the award your project must have completed its final inspection by December 5, 2008. Previous award winners may apply if their original projects have had additional substantial green 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 the Sustainable San Mateo County celebration dinner on March 18, 2009 at the South San Francisco Conference Center.
