Livable Buildings Awards

About the Awards

The Livable Buildings Awards serve as mark of distinction for commercial buildings. They are awarded for buildings that demonstrate exceptional performance in terms of occupant satisfaction, resource efficiency, and overall design.

This program is unique among building industry awards, as it is the only one to include the preferences of building occupants in its selection criteria. To be considered for the award, buildings must rank among the top scorers in CBE’s Occupant Indoor Environmental Quality Survey. This survey, used to study occupant satisfaction with the quality of the indoor environment, has been implemented in over 300 buildings in North America and Europe.

Buildings that exceed an established performance level on the survey are eligible to participate in the awards competition. Owners and design teams are invited to provide project images, energy data, and other relevant information for review by a jury composed of CBE industry partners.

For the first year of the award, CBE selected ten finalist buildings from those that used the CBE surveys before January 1, 2007. The winning buildings and honorable mentions were announced at CBE’s Industry Advisory Board meeting on October 18, 2007.
