Livable Buildings Awards Finalists 2010

During 2009 we worked with building owners and design professionals to implement the CBE occupant survey in 85 buildings. We analyzed the survey scores, identified ten buildings that qualified as finalists, and invited the associated project teams to participate in the award program.

These finalists represent a diversity of project types including offices, government agencies, schools, and retail; and they represent both new buildings and renovations. We congratulate all the finalists for their commitment to providing livable buildings, productive workplaces, and healthful schools.

Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology
Menlo Park, California, Honorable Mention

The Kavli Institute, located in the vicinity of the Stanford Linear Accelerator, houses offices, labs, and meeting spaces, along with a state-of-the-art auditorium. The building was sited to take advantage of views of the Stanford campus and the San Francisco Bay beyond. Sustainable strategies include spectrally selective glazing, solar shading, mixed-mode ventilation, operable windows, and efficient lighting and controls. Underfloor air distribution enhances energy efficiency and provides added flexibility to meet the evolving requirements of a leading research institution.
