A personal achievement award was given to Christophe Garot of Unibail-Rodamco, for his valuable contribution to driving more sustainable real estate investment.
Gavin Dunn, Director of BRE’s Building Performance Group, said:
“These varied and inspirational projects have all embraced sustainability in a different way and demonstrate the value that the use of BREEAM brings. The winning projects have gone beyond typical practice in design and construction, refurbishment or management and are fantastic examples of the enduring benefits of sustainable construction schemes. Congratulations to all winners and all those shortlisted.”
