Are you aware of an exceptional sustainable building project? If so, consider entering Wisconsin's premier design competition, the SE2 Award!
The SE2 Award program recognizes leadership in energy efficient and sustainable design, construction and operation of Wisconsin commercial and other non-residential buildings and related systems.
The goal of the program is to encourage greater collaboration among owners, designers, builders and operators by highlighting the value of projects that enhance the built environment. Awards are presented at our annual SE2 Conference in the fall.
The competition is sponsored by Focus on Energy, AIA Wisconsin, Energy Center of Wisconsin, ASHRAE Wisconsin, IES-Milwaukee/Madison, IFMA-Wisconsin, and WGBA. Projects completed in Wisconsin within the last five years are eligible. Entry information for 2010 is now available.
