USGBC New Jersey’s prestigious awards celebrate the building projects that exemplify excellence in high-performance, healthy design and building; environmental stewardship; and community impact. They also serve to highlight the green building initiatives of the USGBC New Jersey community.

LEED-certified buildings are critical to addressing climate change and meeting ESG goals, enhancing resilience and supporting more equitable communities. LEED is a holistic system that doesn’t simply focus on one building element, such as energy, water or health. Instead, it looks at the big picture, factoring in all critical elements that work together to create the best building possible.

Attendees heard from speakers, toasted the award winners and celebrated New Jersey’s collective sustainability accomplishments together.
