Description
Zerofootprint is offering the annual “Re-Skinning Award” to showcase the most successful holistic retrofitting projects of the year. These are projects that update older buildings to bring their carbon, energy, and water performance to sustainable levels, improve their aesthetics, and make them “smarter.” A related but distinct initiative, the ZEROprize, will be awarded to the first building that is retrofitted to measurably achieve a zero footprint.
