Award Criteria​

The judges want to see a linkage between the project’s objectives and the organization’s mission, objectives and strategies. The project should not be a “stand‐alone” effort; rather, it should demonstrate the fulfillment of the organization’s overall strategy for sustainability.

​

The development categories recognize organization‐wide real estate programs. These programs should:

• Integrate the organization’s sustainability mission and strategies throughout the organizations – penetrating everyday practices of its real estate/facilities operations

• Demonstrate a clear link between the organization’s overall strategy for sustainability and the sustainable programs. This is best accomplished through measurable programs.

 

What is NOT acceptable:

• Organizational sustainability strategies without programs

• Stand‐alone programs (e.g., programs not linked to an organization’s sustainability strategies

​

For development categories, the judges suggest that you enter only once by “bundling” your initiatives as part of the organization’s overall sustainability mission and strategies.

 

Post-Occupancy (Optional)
