PLANYC 2030 New York City Green Building Competition
The Third New York City Green Building Competition seeks projects and ideas that promote the New York City as the pre-eminent cultural and sustainable urban epicenter.

Design projects are encouraged that integrate whole-building principles, employ the tenets of green building construction and end-of-life considerations, anticipate post-occupancy concerns, and complement the community in which they reside.

"Green building is now in the mainstream here with visionary and innovative construction projects gaining a full head of steam all over the city," Regional Administrator Steinberg said.

"This competition helps create more visible examples of building green in the mosaic of everyday city life."

"Promoting energy efficiency and environmentally friendly design in both old and new buildings is critical to our future, and the core of PlaNYC, our long-term plan for a sustainable New York" said Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor of the City of New York "I am happy to announce once again that New York City will be holding a green building contest to highlight those who to create a greener future for New York through smart and innovative design."
