In memory of Nancy Benner, the Benner Award recognizes outstanding achievement in making building commissioning "business as usual." This was Nancy's mission, her personal dream, and her challenge to each of us working in the commercial building industry. The Benner Award Committee is accepting nominations for the Benner Award, a prize for excellence in efforts to make commissioning business as usual.

The committee seeks nominations of individuals and programs/organizations that have engaged in educational, demonstration, policy, or actual commissioning activities that successfully promote excellence in building commissioning. Nominations in each of the two categories will be accepted and will be judged separately. Resubmission of previous nominees is encouraged. Criteria are listed on the second page of application.

Award recipients are selected by a committee of national experts on commissioning representing the public and private sectors. The committee may award multiple or no awards in each category.
