Winners revealed of BREEAM Awards 2024
The annual ceremony, recognising the bleeding edge of sustainable building design, development and management, was held on Wednesday 10th July.
Overall, nine awards were handed out to winners, each recognised for their efforts to advance and develop solutions to help create sustainable buildings. Among this year’s winners was HAUT Amsterdam – one of the tallest timber-hybrid buildings in the world – which took home the award for the Best New Construction for a Residential Project.
Sticking on a worldwide theme, KRK, whose BREEAM, the world’s leading sustainability assessment methodology for master planning projects, infrastructure and buildings, certification of 39 industrial and residential properties across the United States provided a clear roadmap for value creation and risk mitigation, took home the GRESB Portfolio Integration & Commitment Award. GRESB partnered with BREEAM – their eighth year working together – to recognise responsible investment in the built environment and the role that BREEAM plays in supporting ESG strategy.
Coming away from organisations and focusing on buildings themselves, a major industrial unit and an iconic Tudor Street landmark – both situated in London – picked up the BREEAM Lifecycle Award and Best Refurbishment & Fit Out Project respectively.
Against this backdrop, SEGRO, a UK real investment trust, helped create a 33,000 sq ft facility at 2 Auriol Drive which became the first industrial refurbishment of its kind to achieve BREEAM Outstanding and is expected to receive an EPC A+ rating. Meanwhile, John Robertson Architects’ reimagination of the Grade II listed Northcliffe building, maintaining its industrial heritage as a 1920s print works, saw it achieve BREEAM Outstanding.
‘We are thrilled to recognise some of the greatest sustainability achievements in the built environment at this year’s BREEAM Awards,’ Gillian Charlesworth, CEO of BRE said.
‘Embracing science-based sustainability methodologies like BREEAM can deliver significant impacts for businesses, investors and for society as a whole. It is inspiring to see the innovative ways in which sustainability is being fostered and put front-and-centre across all our award winners and wider BREEAM scheme members.
‘With our network of over 14,000 assessors ensuring rigorous sustainability practices across the globe, we look forward to continuing to drive net zero ambitions across the entire built environment.’
