The RIBA Sustainability Award is given for the building that demonstrates most elegantly and durably the principles of sustainable architecture. The building industry produces half the world’s CO2. This award encourages architects and clients to go beyond the letter of the law, and make energy-efficient buildings which are also beautiful.
