Press Releases FSC-US Announces Winners of Designing & Building with FSC Awards at Greenbuild (2009)

Each year, the Forest Stewardship Council–US (FSC-US) recognizes and honors designers and builders who are committed to using FSC-certified wood and creating a marketplace that promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable forest management – the mission of FSC.

Awards are open to homeowners, architects, interior designers, general contractors, builders, consultants and other professionals committed to using FSC-certified wood. Eligible projects include:

• Commercial, institutional, mixed-use, or residential
• At least 50% of new wood used (by cost) is FSC-certified
• Must be located in the United States or Canada
• Must have been completed during or after 2007 (for 2009 awards)

The selection criteria include:

• The amount of FSC-certified wood used in the project
• The appropriateness of wood use, creative expression and innovation
• Efforts to advance FSC market transformation (e.g., new FSC certificates issued, project replicability and affordability, relationships formed along the supply chain)
