Green Solutions Awards 2019: Discover the selection of all countries
After France, the other chapters of the Construction21 networks have lifted the veil on the winners in their country! A victory that is in fact double, since a qualification for the international phase comes with a national award.
Juries of experts, chosen worldwide and divided into the different categories, now have the difficult task of analysing the finalist projects, in order to ultimately select the winning buildings, districts and infrastructures for the Green Solutions Awards.
These international winners will be announced and promoted at Batimat on the 4th of November, at a ceremony that will bring together pioneers in sustainable construction from China, the Maghreb, Africa and all over Europe. This major event will be a real opportunity to highlight innovative and replicable solutions.
The Awards, a first national step
By applying, project holders publish their projects on the Construction21 platform corresponding to their geographical location. Buildings, districts, infrastructures: they then choose the category that best suits them.
Each Construction21 chapter organises its juries with experts who are well acquainted with their national ecosystem, as well as an online vote to determine the Users’ Choice.
Projects whose country is not yet covered by the network are all published on the international platform. Through the same process, a special jury is set up to determine the best projects. There again, professionals are mobilised for an online voting campaign.
A total of 192 applications were received, representing 37 different countries.
The winners highlighted on Construction21 and social media
In some countries were Construction21 is present, national winners are announced at an official ceremony. This is the case, for example, for the EMC Cluster, which manages Construction21 Morocco, CAP Construction for Belgium and for Construction21 France. These events, which bring together many local professionals, are a prime forum for award-winning project holders, partners and jurors alike.
And all candidates benefit from visibility on all Construction21 websites and social media. In 2018, 4 million views on all different channels were generated by the contest.
You will find below all the 2019 national Green Solutions Awards winners, with the exception of the French projects (which have already be announced at the end of September).
International phase: when the champions finally meet
Once they are crowned champions in their category and in their country, the projects qualify for the international final. There, once again, juries are organised with the recruitment of connoisseurs from the construction and city sectors at the global level.
In addition to the thematic buildings awards (Health & Comfort, Low Carbon, Energy & Temperate Climates and Energy & Hot Climates), four Grand Prizes are awarded: Sustainable Construction Grand Prize, Sustainable Renovation Grand Prize, Sustainable District Grand Prize and Sustainable Infrastructure Grand Prize.
The four concerned project holders will win a video describing their exemplary project. Discover the videos of the 2018 winners
Join us on November 4 at 11am at Batimat to discover the winners
The international winners will be revealed on the 4th of November at Batimat, the international trade fair for professionals of the construction industry.
200 people from Asia, Africa, Europe and even South America will meet in the same place to discover these innovative projects: partners of the competition, jurors, candidates, members of the Construction21 network… Replicated on a large scale, those projects have a real capacity to reduce our carbon emissions and global warming.
Attend the ceremony too! More information and registration
