The Greenbuild Awards 2013 is the only awards in the UK, which celebrates successful sustainable buildings in use, focusing on actual measured performance rather than design intent or performance specifications.
Judged by a panel of distinguished industry leaders including Kerry Mashford, chief executive of National Energy Foundation, winning a Greenbuild Award really does raise the bar for the industry, reducing the environmental impact of our buildings.
The 2013 awards will be held on the 8th May at the Grade II* listed Midland Hotel in Manchester.
The awards takes place alongside the Greenbuild Expo held at Manchester Central on the 8th and 9th May. Finalists of next year’s awards will be showcased at the awards gallery, which is one of many features at Greenbuild Expo 2013.
The Greenbuild Awards night is an ideal place to network with other built environment professionals and industry colleagues who are at the forefront of sustainability in construction and refurbishment. Last year’s event, hosted by The One Show’s Lucy Siegle was a great success.
Kerry Mashford, chief executive of National Energy Foundation, said: “Demonstrating how to achieve greater sustainability while maintaining and even improving the quality of life is a key challenge. But it is possible to do things elegantly and intelligently and achieve somewhere between a factor of four times and, in some cases, up to ten times more resource efficiency by using a whole systems approach.
“The Greenbuild Awards recognises the buildings that successfully manage the balance. I sincerely hope to see many more of the entries being able to provide this evidence of in-use performance.”
Entries for the awards will be accepted from now until January 31 2013. For an entry form or further details please visit http://www.greenbuildawards.co.uk/enter and you can also follow @gb_awards on Twitter.
