Jay, I'm sure there are examples of what you're asking about, but if you're interested in other areas, I know the National Audubon Society offices (700-something?? Broadway across from some NYU buildings) were given various awards when they opened, not so much for solar hot water or passive solar but, as I recall, energy efficiency, clean air, using recycled building materials, etc. -Guilllermo Christian; I'll be visiting my sister in NYC soon and I wonder if there are any good examples of green buildings there that I could see. None of the awards are for a building in NYC. I'm interested in things like rooftop gardens, solar hot-water, passive solar using thermal mass. Thanks. Jay
