Engineer of the Year Awards

Since 2014, the Commercial Engineer of the Year Award program has recognized the outstanding work of those behind our commercial office buildings' success - the engineers. Their work not only adds to the efficient operation but also impacts guest experience as the demand for expertise in building physics and systems for new and existing buildings constantly increases.

Nominate your building engineer today to recognize their achievements in making your building such a success.  The Engineer of the Year and the nominees will be recognized at the Commercial Awards Celebration, scheduled in November of each year.
