Seven out of the 10 projects shortlisted for the Building Awards’ Sustainability Project of the Year category having achieved BREEAM certification, highlighting the importance of this internationally-recognised measure of sustainability for buildings and communities.

The projects span a range of sectors from hotels to offices, education to laboratories and research facilities. They are:

The Enterprise Centre, designed by architects Architype for client Adapt and University of East Anglia

5 Broadgate, designed by Make architects for British Land

Centre for Medicine designed by Associated Architects for University of Leicester

Land Rover BAR HQ designed by HGP Architects

7 Air Street, London, designed by Barr Gazetas for The Crown Estates

Penarth Learning Community by HLM architects for Vale of Glamorgan Council

Hub by Premier Inn designed by architects Axiom.

In the creation of these buildings, the projects teams have all strived to embed sustainability through innovative design and procurement. There has been a clear focus on delivering exceptional schemes that look to the future and place emphasis on the building performance and the users' well-being. In many instances the way in which these projects have been delivered and their environmental impact and performance will influence the design of many other schemes.

“Each of the shortlisted projects has embraced sustainability in a different way and they should all be commended on their efforts to create low-energy buildings that respect their surroundings and provide adaptable space for occupants and future generations,” commented Martin Townsend, director of sustainability at BRE Global. “The fact that the vast majority are BREEAM certified is testimony to the global position the standard holds and further illustrates BREEAM’s importance in driving innovation and best practice through the application of sustainability.”

The Building Awards are being held on November 8 in London.
