For integration of energy efficiency with outstanding architectural design, three nonresidential projects have received Awards of Honor as the culmination of the 2004 Savings By Design Energy Efficiency Integration Awards Competition.
Los Angeles, California – May 21, 2004 [SolarAccess.com] The results were announced earlier this month by the competition’s co-sponsors: The American Institute of Architects, California Council, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric(R), Southern California Edison Company, and Southern California Gas Company. “This year’s winning projects truly advance the edge of the energy-efficient design practice,” said Grant Duhon, Savings By Design Senior Program Manager at Pacific Gas and Electric. “They not only provide beautiful building forms and conserve energy resources, but also serve as centers that inspire, educate, and celebrate the communities that provide their context.” Savings by Design is a program to encourage high-performance nonresidential building design and construction. Sponsored by four of California’s largest utilities under the auspices of the Public Utilities Commission, Savings By Design offers building owners and their design team a wide range of services.
