A new green homes award has been launched today by the organisers of the Homebuilding & Renovating Show to spotlight innovations and initiatives aimed at creating more sustainable homes.

The inaugural Homebuilding & Renovating Green Home Awards will open for entries on 2 November, with categories including Best Low Energy Windows & Doors System as well as those for products, mterials and innovations.

Jason Orme, managing director of Homes at Future PLC, says, “Buildings are responsible for over 40 per cent of global energy usage and around a third of greenhouse gas emissions. As the green building market continues to grow exponentially and enters the mainstream for home building with more accessible and competitive products and innovations, we identified that the time is right to celebrate sustainability in the sector.

“We hope these pioneering companies will realise their ground-breaking work and nominate themselves in our inaugural awards to receive the recognition and plaudits they deserve.”

 The deadline for entries is 5 February 2021, with the winners being announced on Earth Day on 22 April 2021 across Homebuilding & Renovating online channels.
