ABOUT

THE AWARDS

USGBC's Community Leadership Awards celebrate excellence from projects, people, and partners that are working to create better buildings and better lives for all in their local community. Nominations are open to all communities in the Big South region, including USGBC Virginia.

The state of Virgnia has long been a leader in green building, appearing on USGBC's prestigious list of Top 10 States for LEED for the past 10 years and counting. In 2022, Virginia ranked 8th, with 95 LEED projects totalling over 16 million gross square feet of LEED certified space and 1.88 gsf per capita.

Award recipients will be announced and honored at USGBC Virginia's annual awards celebration in November 2023 (date and location TBD).
