The wait is over.
Last Thursday, at West Coast Green, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) presented the Lifecycle Building Challenge Awards. Lifecycle Building is defined as: Design of building materials, components, information systems, and management practices to create buildings that facilitate and anticipate future changes to and eventual adaptation or dismantling for recovery of all systems, components, and materials. In other words: building green and smart.
Unfortunately, it was one of the few events at the conference that we weren't able to catch.
As it turns out, that's not a problem: All the winners and honorable mentions are listed and profiled at the Lifecycle Building Challenge site.
In the Professional Built category, Seattle's Pavilion in the Park took first honors.
In the Professional Unbuilt, plans for The GreenMobile™ won out.
And, in the Student category (as we sort of predicted?), first prize goes to the groHome.
Click through the site to see more fantastic photos/drawings of the winning entries, as well as the honorable mentions and the People's Choice Award.
