Submissions are due April 13, 2012. Results will be published in the July 2012 issue of Building Design+Construction and additional coverage will be available online at www.bdcnetwork.com
If you're just getting started, please use this slightly updated version of the Giants 300 survey. Please note the new questions about "Industrial Buildings" in 4B and "NEW Construction vs. RECONSTRUCTION" in 5F.
Explanation of "public sector tab" in Giants 300 survey
Important point: how to allocate revenues in the "Public Sector" tab and the "Building Type" tab. If, for example, your firm did an office building for the State of New York, you would put the revenues your firm earned for that project in "Office Buildings" Building Type Tab 4B AND you would also count that same revenue in "State Government" in Public Sector Tab 4C.

At this point, the strategies required to get to zero energy are relatively expensive. Only a few buildings, most of them 6,000 sf or less, mostly located in California and similar moderate climates, have hit the mark. What about larger buildings, commercial buildings, more problematic climates?
