Sensitive Design Principles
INTRODUCTION
The goal of the Scottsdale Environmental Design Awards Program is to encourage and recognize aesthetically expressive sustainable designs that are appropriate to the upper Sonoran desert environment. This is to be a biennial awards program for recognition of design quality and public education.
Eligible Projects:
The Scottsdale Environmental Design Awards Program is open only to projects built within the corporate limits of Scottsdale. Projects may be residential, commercial, urban design or environmental. Projects that received a Scottsdale Certificate of Occupancy prior to January 1, 2012 that demonstrated their intent to implement the Scottsdale Sensitive Design Principles are invited to submit. Other Scottsdale projects, not requiring a C of O, may be submitted by their owner or designer, and will also be judged based on the same Scottsdale Sensitive Design Principles.
Scottsdale Residents
Scottsdale residents are encouraged to nominate a project that they believe exemplify the Scottsdale Sensitive Design Principles. For information about Sensitive Design, please refer to the RESOURCES portion of this page.
Please submit a Preliminary Registration, with as much project information as you know. If you want to nominate a project, but do not know the owner, architect/designer, or contractor, then please leave space blank.
Please provide the address of your Scottsdale residence for verification purposes. The SEDA 2012 steering committee will conduct further research to follow-up on the project that you have nominated.
