One Prize 2011
11 February
ONE PRIZE is an annual design and science award to promote green design in cities. ONE PRIZE 2011 turned its focus to New York and its waterways, re-imagining recreational space, public transportation, local industry, and native environment in the city and the Water as the Sixth Borough competition received submissions from 256 people from 18 countries and 5 continents.
Entrants drew inspiring proposals for the NYC BLUE NETWORK by expanding waterborne transportation and linking the five boroughs with a series of green transit hubs incorporating electric passenger ferries, water taxis, bike shares, electric car-share and electric shuttle buses as well as providing in-water recreation, water-oriented educational and cultural activities and climate resilience. The winning teams further submitted proposals for New York City to host the world's largest cleantech event, E3NYC and establish the city as the ultimate green capital on the world.
The competition was organized by Terreform ONE.

Searching For Common Metrics
23 February
The 2nd Annual Conference on Sustainable Real Estate for the Sustainable Built Environment will explore the growing significance of energy performance and carbon emissions in real estate investment decisions. The lack of data and common performance metrics has hindered the expansion of commercial building retrofit markets in the face of uncertainty around energy savings and investment returns. A number of cities now require the disclosure and benchmarking of building energy consumption, together with a number of voluntary, industry-led initiatives. These efforts will dramatically expand the availability of data and the potential for performance indicators to inform investment and risk analysis. The Conference brings together leaders from the private, public, and academic sectors to discuss the emerging debt and equity markets for commercial building energy efficiency, the role of data and information technology in decision making, and the need for common performance metrics that cross disciplinary and professional boundaries.
Sponsors: NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate Center; Global Lead, Connected Real Estate-IBSG, Cisco Systems, Inc.; New York City Energy Efficiency Corporation; Greenprint Foundation;
Confirmed Speakers: Laurie Kerr, AIA, LEED AP - Senior Policy Advisor, NYC Mayor’s Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability; Dr. Chris Pyke - V.P. for Research, U.S. Green Building Council; > Theddi Wright Chappell, CRE, MAI, FRICS, AAPI, LEED AP - Sr. Managing Director, National Practice Leader, Cushman & Wakefield Inc.
