Each year, the Delaware Valley Green Building Council conducts a Sustainable Design Competition to engage students from regional colleges and universities. Professors are encouraged to incorporate the Design Competition with the Spring 2010 college and university curriculum. This year the DVGBC would also like to invite young professionals to enter the competition. Integrated with the LEED Green Building Rating System, the Design Competition unites students and young professionals with individuals from the DVGBC and the local design community. The goal is to incorporate sustainable design strategies into the college curriculum and empower the students and young professionals within the green building movement to become future leaders. The competition will award a number of prizes as well as a grand prize stipend to attend Greenbuild, the USGBC's annual Green Building Conference and Expo.
As an important part of the Education and Outreach Programs, DVGBC conducts an annual design competition to engage regional colleges and universities in the process of sustainable design. The goal is an interactive design competition that will expose participants to sustainable design strategies, USGBC LEED criteria and an integrated design process. The competition aims to encourage the partnership of colleges, universities, design and engineering professionals, and community members in an applied learning experience. It is also targeted toward integration with the Spring college and university curriculum.
