​What are the Austin Green Awards?

Austin has a long legacy of reverence for the environment and retains a vibrant quality of life even as it experiences significant growth. Its spirited embrace of innovation and creativity, inspired by a deep environmental ethic, has resulted in notable sustainably inspired accomplishments. It’s time for Austin to acknowledge its homegrown sustainable design and innovation leadership.

About THE AWARDS

The Austin Green Awards aim to highlight a next generation of sustainably inspired best practices and heighten the visibility of a broad spectrum of exemplary initiatives in Austin. Awardees will set an aspirational bar of what is possible by responding to rapidly evolving environmental, social, and health imperatives.

The inaugural Austin Green Awards celebration was held on november 9, 2016, with over 100 attendees, to recognize the six awardees.

The Austin Green Awards is Austin’s first recognition program to specifically highlight the outstanding accomplishments in the broad arena of sustainable design and innovation. In its kick-off year, 2016, the Austin Green Awards call for nominations focused on buildings and sites, including landscapes and green infrastructure. Subsequent years are envisioned to include other sectors including technology, transportation, industrial design, business and manufacturing.

The Austin Green Awards are conceived and convened as a personal initiative of Dirk Kestner, P.E. of Walter P. Moore; Bungane Mehlomakalu, P.E. of Integral Group; Pliny Fisk III and Gail Vittori, Co-Directors of the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems; travis albrecht, aia of gensler.

​The Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems will serve as fiscal sponsor.
