The Design Awards acknowledge excellence in innovative and integrative green roof design and raise awareness of the multiple benefits that green roofs can provide clients and the general public.

This year there are seven design award categories. Three for extensive green roofs, those with 6 inches or less of growing medium throughout; and three for intensive green roofs, those with more than six inches of growing medium (this category includes semi-intensive green roofs as well, i.e., those with a mix of more and less that six inches of growing medium). Three different categories of buildings will be awarded. New and existing or retrofit projects will not be differentiated. Residential buildings can be either single family and/or multi-unit. Applicants may submit more than one project for the same, or different award categories.
