Green Building Award
Q. Regarding the Green Building submission, can you confirm that there is no page limit or image limit?
A. The proponents shall include any information necessary to fully describe the solutions related to the sustainability of their project.
Q. The Project Credit sheet requires that we name a specific architect, to appear on the medal/certificate. We can do this, along with providing a license number, however due to the collaborative nature of the projects we would prefer for the medal/certificate to name the firm only. Is this possible?
A. Yes, the firm name can be engraved on the medal or printed on the certificate. It is at the discretion of the recipient.
Q. The documentation accompanying the Green Building Award indicates that only LEED® Gold or Platinum buildings will be considered. Will you evaluate a project that was designed to LEED® Gold standards, but has been awarded Green Globes certification instead? Is that an acceptable certification option?
A. This project would not be eligible for submission.
