Green Roof & Wall Awards of Excellence Presented

Rebekah Nowak

The Green Roof & Wall Awards of Excellence were established in 2003 to honor innovative and integrative green roof and wall installations while raising public awareness of the benefits of green infrastructure

The Green Roof & Wall Awards program recognizes excellence in four categories; Design, Research, Civic, and Corporate. While the Research, Civic, and Corporate Awards all honor individuals and organizations who have made outstanding contributions to the field, the Design Award recognizes innovative green roof and wall project installations.
