County Sustainable Building Program 20th Anniversary Celebration and Awards Ceremony

Community members are invited to celebrate 20 years of the County’s Sustainable Building Program. The community inspired program, which began in 2003, came out of a desire from county residents for an easier path to building sustainably. They also saw a need for more community education and awareness about sustainable building practices, methods, technology, and innovations. The program evolved into a free certification program allowing homeowners and builders to participate in a third-party certification based on points achieved for building sustainably. As part of the celebration, the County will also be recognizing those certified in the program in 2022 and 2023. The County Sustainable Building Program’s annual award ceremony showcases sustainable building projects that went through certification and received a score and designation: bronze, silver, gold, or platinum. The celebration is open to the community.
