SBIC calls for entries

The Sustainable Buildings Industry Council, Washington, D.C., calls for entries for its 2008 BeyondGreen High-Performance Building Awards, according to an Oct. 9 release. The deadline is by 5 p.m. Oct. 15.

Established in 2001, SBIC's awards program initially recognized exceptional contributions of its members. Over the years, the program expanded to include both SBIC members and non-members who incorporate the whole building approach into their practices and designs. Last year, the Beyond Green program recognized projects that were sustainable as well as cost-effective, safe/secure, aesthetic, functional, historic, productive and accessible, according to the release.
