#GBCSAwards 2016:  33 finalists on the road to the COP22

The Green Building Solutions Awards continue to inspire the profession by highlighting ever more  sustainable and innovative realisations all over the world. This year’s finalists are no exception.

A world-wide participation

In September, juries within the Construction21 network and an online vote selected finalists among the 104 competing buildings.  Most candidates came from countries covered by the Construction21 platforms (France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Morocco, Algeria, Germany, Romania, Lithuania). However, the contest is open to buildings from other countries. A special jury was formed to select finalists among them. This year, they were 19 to enter the competition, from Brasil, China, Colombia, India, the Netherlands, Poland, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Thaïland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Proof that innovative and sustainable solutions for better and greener buildings can be found everywhere to inspire professionals all over the globe. 

International experts mobilized to designate the candidates

An international jury composed of experts will debate over the merits of each finalist in their respective categories. In parallel, a second round of online votes will determine the winner of the Users’Choice Award.
