The 2006 Sustainability and Energy Efficiency (SE²) Leadership Award recognizes leadership in energy efficient and sustainable design, construction, and operation of Wisconsin commercial buildings and related systems.  Multi-family buildings of sixteen units or more, with a central plant are also eligible for consideration in this year’s award program.  The goal is to encourage greater collaboration among owners, designers, builders and operators by highlighting the value of projects that enhance the built environment.  

On Wednesday, October 18, 2005, the third annual Sustainability & Energy Efficiency (SE²) Leadership Awards were presented at a noon awards luncheon in conjunction with the SE² Conference  held at the Monona Terrace Conference Center in Madison.
