Greenbuild Awards 2013 shortlist announced
Thirteen North West finalists have been announced for the Greenbuild Awards 2013.
The event recognises excellence in sustainable buildings, with a particular focus on projects that can illustrate an understanding of the importance of building performance in use.
The winners will be announced at a celebratory dinner on 8 May at the Midland Hotel, Manchester, during the Greenbuild Expo 2013.
A panel of industry leaders including Kerry Mashford, chief executive of National Energy Foundation, will judge the shortlist.
Mashford said: "Improving the in-use energy performance of buildings is critical to decreasing the UK's overall CO2 emissions, managing energy costs and reducing fuel poverty.
"The Greenbuild Awards are important because they showcase buildings that are performing well and provide guidance and inspiration for those designing, delivering and operating buildings."
