Who are these unsung heroes? The EBies™ recognize improved environmental performance in existing buildings among building operators, facilities managers, owners, engineers, retro-commissioning agents and other professionals who conceived and implemented the work. Focus areas include energy, water, operations, materials use, lighting and tenant engagement.

"The 2012 EBie winners show the range of extraordinary work going on in buildings across the country. We had office buildings and schools, residences and a hospital, and even a museum. Whatever building you live or work in, the EBie winners are proof that you can reduce costs while saving energy and water, and making your building healthier in the process."
