The EBie Awards – Celebrating the Best in Existing Buildings!


Do you work to improve the environmental performance of existing buildings? The USGBC Texas Gulf Coast Chapter has become an EBie Award Partner and is working to help you celebrate your achievements.

The EBie Awards™ are a juried competition for people working in Existing Buildings who have made great strides in improving their environmental performance but who may otherwise go unrecognized. Their work is likely to have been done on a shoestring budget and needed great determination and focus.

Who are these unsung heroes? The EBies™ will recognize significant and measurable environmental performance improvements in existing buildings among building owners and operators, engineers, consultants, retro-commissioning agents, lighting designers, landscape architects, and tenant groups. Be sure to review the complete Award list and EBie rules.

The EBie Awards will be given to both commercial and residential projects, with a special award for work in the public sector.

The EBies were created by Urban Green Council, USGBC New York, but are open to projects in the continental United States.

The submission period is now open – February 1 – March 31! Visit http://www.ebies.org today to learn more and to submit an entry.
