EMSL graduate Tim Trefzer is recognized with an EBie Award from the US Green Building Council in NYC for his work in greening the Georgia World Congress Center - now the world's largest LEED-certified convention center.

Not only did Trefzer achieve LEED certification for the center in 2014, he championed other sustainable improvements like instituting a solid-waste management policy to improve waste diversion and requiring paper products to have a certain level of recycled content.
