Buildings of Excellence Series

The Buildings of Excellence Competition, developed by NYSERDA, recognizes visionary developers and architects who design, build and renovate beautifullow-carbon buildings.

The competition supports New York’s Green New Deal, the most aggressive climate change program in the nation that puts New York State on a path to economy wide carbon-neutrality as well as the State’s mandate for an 85 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
