The GBCSA would like to apologise for the error that occurred during the announcement of the winner and runner-up of the Highest Rated Building Award during the convention.
The winners of the GBCSA Annual Awards 2020 were announced during the 13th Green Building Virtual Convention that took place from 28 – 30 October.
The criteria for qualifying green projects are based on submission data gathered during the GBCSA’s Green Star certification process and the strength of the submissions. Individuals are nominated by the industry and their Green Star engagement is also taken into consideration.
Congratulations to all our winners and the runners-up.
