Sustainable Design Strategies
Recognizing that good design includes strategies to enhance building performance, the AIACC is offering a new category for consideration in this year’s Awards program.
Our goal in recognizing projects which have demonstrated that design includes performance is to bring awareness to both the public and the membership of design approaches that contribute to a more sustainable planet. By acknowledging our ethics of responsible stewardship for the environment in this context, we hope to promote our profession’s continual efforts for holistic approaches to create healthy and aesthetically pleasing environments through our daily design decisions.
All projects entered in the AIACC Awards Program are eligible for consideration in this category. This category will be evaluated by a separate jury, familiar with sustainability concepts.
To enter, download and complete the Optional Sustainability Worksheet to provide the following information:
- Summary of overall sustainability strategy
- Energy Efficiency Beyond Code and Renewable Energy
- Efficient Water Use
- Reduction of Material Use
Questions concerning the eligibility of particular projects can be directed to the Awards Committee at awards@aiacc.org.
