Now in its second year, the EBie Awards™ are a nationwide juried competition created by Urban Green Council (USGBC New York) to celebrate performance improvements in Existing Buildings and the people who make them happen. The deadline for submissions is rapidly approaching on February 26! 

The EBies (EE-bees) recognize “unsung heroes” who have made great strides in improving environmental performance but whose accomplishments may otherwise go unheralded – not just building owners, but building operators, commissioning agents, lighting designers and engineers. Unlike other awards, the EBies are based on measurable improvements in performance as well as innovation and scalability. Complete details, including last year’s finalists and winners, can be found on the EBie website.  NEEC encourages you to apply for an EBie—we know you have participated in some amazing, award-worthy projects!
