The winners of the
BREEAM Awards 2018, for building projects and professionals with extraordinary
achievements in sustainability, were revealed at an event last night at
London’s ExCel.
Attended by hundreds
of built environment practitioners from around the world, the awards were
hosted by actor and TV personality Robert Llewellyn, a keen advocate of
sustainability and renewable energy technologies.
The winners include
many of the most innovatively sustainable buildings in the UK, and in countries
across the globe from China to Brazil.
The awards, held this
year in partnership with ecobuild, also recognise high achievement by
architects, M&E consultants and BREEAM assessors – and BREEAM again
partnered with GRESB to recognise socially responsible investment. New this

sustainability advances in their particular areas of the world.

The outstanding
achievements of the shortlisted projects gave the panel of judges a difficult
task when choosing the winners.
Alan Yates, BREEAM
Technical Director and Chair of the Judging Panel, said: “Even more important
than the qualities of the shortlisted and winning projects, are the examples
they set for others. By demonstrating the practicalities and benefits of
sustainable solutions – particularly those that are widely replicable – these
projects will inspire others to aim higher with their own developments, so
driving improvement throughout their sectors and regions, and internationally.”
