The CommONEnergy Sustainable Building Challenge is a competition for renovated high performance shopping centres organised in the context of the FP7 European project CommONEnergy. The objective of the competition is to identify and award the European best practices for retrofitted shopping centres to provide examples useful for future renovations, targeted to improve the sustainability of retail buildings.
The CommONEnergy SBChallenge will award the two most sustainable and energy efficient buildings as Best Sustainable Shopping Centres. The competition is addressed to recently renovated shopping centres, assessed with a recognised sustainability protocol. The competition is articulated in two categories:
• Iper: buildings with a gross area > 5.000 m2
• Super: buildings with a gross area between 500 m2 and 5.000 m2
To enter the shopping centre in the competition, it is requested to fill out the SBChallenge Project Datasheet, including the CommONEnergy Performance Card. This describes the building’s performance with regards to 6 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The indicators have been selected from the CESBA European KPIs (European Passport).
All participants have to provide the Performance Card assessing the value of the 6 KPIs on the base of the building’s actual (and/or simulated) performance. The Performance Card will allow to compare the performances achieved by the shopping centres participating to the competition.
• NEW! Submission deadline: May 19, 2017;
The SBChallenge Jury will evaluate the Project Datasheets and Assessment Reports provided for each shopping centre, identify the Top 10, and will award a winner for each of the two categories. All shortlisted projects will be presented in the Final Conference, September 7, 2017 in Brussels.
The two winners will also be presented at the high-level event WSBE17 Hong Kong, 5-7 June 2017. A publication presenting the best cases will finally be prepared and disseminated in Europe to showcase good practices.
