Construction and maintenance affordability as well as an innovative design approach will set the entrants apart.
Online applications are open from 1 April – 24 July 2009, and winners will be announced in October.
The three successful candidates will receive a trip for two to the world’s biggest green building conference, Greenbuild 2009 in Phoenix, US in November, as will the winner of the People’s Choice Awards. Voting is available online.
