Mairi Beautyman -- Interior Design, 12/5/2005
When it comes to green awards, the Sustainable Leadership Awards are some of the most prestigious. Sponsored by CoreNet Global, the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), and the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) – Committees on the Environment and Interior Architecture, and underwritten by manufacturers Haworth, Tandus, and Johnson Controls, the awards recognize organizations dedicated to making sustainable design and development a cornerstone of their business practices.
Awards will be bestowed in four categories: architecture and interior design; government or non-profit; for-profit companies under five billion dollars in sales; and for-profit multinational companies over five billion in sales.
This year’s Steering Committee includes four industry professionals. In addition to chairing the committee on the environment for the AIA, Vivian Loftness, professor and head of the School of Architecture School at Carnegie Mellon University, is on the research faculty for the Center for Building Performance & Diagnostics in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Holley Henderson, principal at Atlanta-based H2EcoDesign, chairs the USGBC LEED-CI and Core committees, serves as LEED-CI faculty, and is on the IIDA National Sustainability committee. Kevin Sneed, director of architecture for Washington D.C.’s OTJ architects, is vice chair on the AIA’s committee on Interiors. Simon O'Reilly, a partner at Cushman & Wakefield Healey & Baker, based in the U.K., is on the board of CoreNet Global.
More information is available on the IIDA, the AIA, and CoreNet Global Web sites. For questions, contact Martha Parker, program manager.
