Awards 

2023 Azbee Awards of Excellence National Award Winners, 1st Place

The American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) is the professional association for B2B editorial professionals.

Description of award-winning editorial project:

"New York’s building stock emits more carbon than that of any other American city. For this story, the writer investigates energy efficiency initiatives at the city’s—and the nation’s—largest rental community; the city's oldest higher ed institution; and a new construction project comprising an entire city block to document their specific strategies, progress, and motivation. He explains the different technologies and systems each group is exploring, how they work, and the outcomes to date. The article can serve as a reference to other building professionals seeking to retrofit or design their projects to help decarbonize their region and the overall sector."
