The Green Building Solutions Awards are up and running!

Construction21, social media for sustainable buildings & cities, launches the 3rd edition of the Green Building Solutions Awards, a contribution to the COP21. #GBSAwards

Construction21 contributes to the fight against climate change by organising the Green Building Solutions Awards, an international competition for sustainable buildings. "For the international conference on climate in Paris at the end of 2015, Construction21 aims to push initiatives from the field and put on display practical solutions which contribute to fight against climate change." says Christian Brodhag, President of Construction21.

The competition gathers real cases, solutions already implemented in existing buildings and possibly replicable in other locations. New in 2015, the contest is open to buildings from all over the world, beyond the 9 countries covered by Construction21, in order to highlight all kinds of solutions and to multiply sources of inspiration. Buildings from China, the United States, Canada, India, Afghanistan or Algeria have been announced by our international partners.

Competing is already gaining in visibility

The contest, through the great diffusion power of Construction21 and their partners, will showcase these exemplary buildings for 1 million professionals to see over the year 2015. All competing buildings will be visible in 2015 and long after on all Construction21 platforms, in each local language.

Each winning building will be rewarded with its own video, created by the Construction21 team to present their solutions. These videos will be widely disseminated on the web. Nominees and winners will also be honored during the two events organised in Paris before and during the COP21, in October and December 2015.

A free contest, open to all professionals

6 categories echoing climate challenges

building owners, architects, engineers, construction companies industrials… event building users. It’s a great opportunity for them to display their innovative buildings and to develop their market.

To enter, applicants only have to publish a case study describing their building and at least one exemplary solution illustrating its performance in the selected categorie(s).

Publication of the case study is done on one of the 9 national Construction21 platforms, depending on the location of the competing building.

For other countries, applicants can publish their case studies on the international platform, either in English, French or Spanish.

A jury in each country will determine the national winners in september. These national winners are then qualified to enter the international phase of the contest and will be examined by an international jury. An online vote, in parallel, will let professionals designate their favorite and will offer great visibility to all competing solutions.

WInners will be announced during the COP21, at LE Bourget, on December 3rd, and will be at the center of an intense media campaign.

Application deadline: June 30th, 2015.
