2026 Green Building Impact Award Winners
Our flagship awards program highlights the exceptional quality of work in Connecticut.
Congratulations to this year's winners
This year’s program drew a record number of submissions across a wide range of building types and approaches. The jury, which reviewed submissions anonymously, noted the exceptional quality of entries, making this a highly competitive process.
Join us on May 20th at the Glastonbury Boathouse as we celebrate your achievement alongside the broader green building community. This is a special opportunity to be recognized among Connecticut’s sustainability leaders, connect with peers, and have fun celebrating the impact of your work.
