Eligibility

Building owners, business owners, and design + construction professionals are all welcome to submit projects that are built or unbuilt. 

Companies/persons within San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties may submit work outside of our tri-county region, however projects will receive points from the judges for being local. 

The Green New Construction Category is intended for new construction projects.

Past Green Awards winning projects will only be considered eligible if they have achieved a new/different certification (like Living Building Challenge or O&M, etc.) beyond what they earned when they submitted last time, and it must be submitted for a different category. 

The format of submission is only this application. CCGBC will be compiling the project boards, all you need to do is give us the information! We summarize and synthesize for the boards, and give those plus all of the data submitted to the judges. 

The Green New Construction Award will be judged based on the following criteria: 

1. Energy Efficiency and Renewables
2. Water Conservation
3. Sustainable Materials Use / Reuse
4. Indoor Air Quality Improvement
5. Waste Reduction / Diversion
6. Transportation Impact Reduction
7. Green Education & Leadership
8. Green Innovative Design
