Your Showcase. Your Projects. Your Community.
Once a year, the Built Environment Plus community gathers to celebrate industry success in greening the built environment at our annual Green Building Showcase. This year we are thrilled to hold the event at last year’s Green Building of the Year award winner — Harvard University’s Science and Engineering Complex.
Join us for a night of project boards, short presentations, discussions, and awards. Attendees include architects, engineers, contractors, developers, owners, facility managers, building users, lenders, suppliers – everyone who plays a role in designing, operating, and constructing the built environment.
YOUR SHOWCASE: GIVING RECOGNITION
This year’s Awards Program will crown one Green Building of the Year, one Change Agent of the Year, and one People’s Choice Award, along with 10 Category Leader Awards:
- Carbon and Energy
- Equity and Inclusion
- Green Home of the Year (1-3 units)
- Health and Wellness
- Site and Landscape
- Student Project of the Year
- Sustainable Building Operations
- Sustainable Building Renovation

YOUR PROJECTS: AWARDS ENTRIES + DISPLAY-ONLY BOARDS
The Green Building Showcase features a powerful Project Gallery, which has displayed hundreds of community submitted project boards since the showcase’s inception. The gallery displays project boards from both our Awards Competition as well as Display-only Submissions.
Awards Competition:
Have a project that you believe deserves extra recognition? Then consider entering into our Awards Competition, which features the Category Award Series and our Green Building of the Year Award.
Display-only Submissions:
If you just want to show off your showboard without competing in the competitions, this is the submission category for you. Display-only Submissions are only eligible for the People’s Choice Award.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Display-only Submissions need to be registered through Eventbrite on the Award Entry deadline?
- No, the Display-only Submissions deadline is October 14, 2022, at 5:00 PM as they do not need to be submitted for judging. You can purchase it here.
Why are PDF files for the Award Series required so early?
- Our Judges need time to review all submissions, and we need time to print.
Does my project need LEED, Passive House, etc. in order to be eligible for an award?
- No, projects are not required to have certification in order to be eligible (though certification does look pretty good!)
Does the Award Entry or Display-only Board purchase include admission to GBS on Oct. 27?
