The Active House Alliance is delighted to announce the 2024 Active House Awards.

The awards celebrate and promote best practices in the field of sustainable and people-centric buildings. Active House Alliance, a global association renowned for establishing standards aimed at creating healthier and more comfortable buildings, is looking for exemplary and innovative building projects that take into consideration the Active House principles, based on fully developed plans or buildings completed in the last 12 months.

In 2024, the award theme will be ‘Comfort, Energy and Environment’. It will honour projects that seamlessly blend these principles to create spaces that are not just buildings but habitats that embody the future of sustainable living. In particular, we will look at the following ‘Active House values’:

• Comfort: To what extent does the building prioritise the well-being of occupants?
• Energy: To what extent have energy-efficient solutions been implemented?
• Environment: To what extent have sustainable resources been used, and have the overall environmental impact been optimised?
• Optional: Beauty, sustainability and inclusivity: To what extent does the building improve the quality of experience of its users, is in harmony with its environment and encourages easy access and interactions?

The 2024 Awards ceremony will be part of the New European Bauhaus Festival, hosted by the European Commission in Brussels.

Active House International is inviting professional house builders, developers, architects, designers and students who have worked on sustainable renovation projects to submit an application for the 2024 Active House Awards.  The submission deadline is 15th February 2024.
