Green Solutions Awards 2020-21: vote for your favourite projects!

Professionals can now discover the projects in competition for the Green Solutions Awards 2020-21. The competing buildings, districts and infrastructures are exemplary: these case studies are always an inexhaustible source of inspiration, providing best practices and innovative solutions.

Wide mobilisation of the sustainable construction pioneers

This 2021 edition is rich in innovative, exemplary, but also replicable projects that are already paving the way for the cities of tomorrow. The competition is gathering 192 participants, including 148 buildings, 29 infrastructures, and 15 districts.

Professionals from all over the world have responded to Construction21’s call. Twenty-five countries are represented: some well-known such as Belgium, China, France, Germany, Morocco, Spain (corresponding to Construction21’s platforms), and some unusual and even new ones like Benin, Canada, Moldova, Russia, Slovenia, Sri Lanka, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.

The candidates provide their peers with a broad overview of the global know-how of the sector. They will first compete at a national level, before being confronted for the international final.

All of these exemplary projects can be discovered at any time on www.construction21.org. The candidates from other platforms will progressively be translated and published in English.

Candidates

The candidates, which are numerous and diversified (both geographically and in terms of types) make a valuable panel for establishing trends in sustainable construction in participating countries. A detailed analysis of the 2020-21 edition’s trends will be published on Construction21 in the coming weeks.

There are, as in each edition, a strong representation of housing and office buildings. But we also note the participation of more atypical projects such as a shelter for giraffes, refurbishment of historical buildings and of a castle. Finally, construction in hot climates is highlighted in the competition with 5 projects, located in Sri Lanka, India, and Benin.
