Marking two decades of trailblazing sustainable building practices in the UK, the NEW Exemplar Sustainable Buildings Awards 2025 is a celebration of projects that have achieved the pinnacle of innovation and building performance.
The Exemplar Sustainable Buildings Awards has been developed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Sustainable Development Foundation (SDF). The awards are delivered in partnership between the Passivhaus Trust (PHT), Alliance for Sustainable Building Products (ASBP) and SDF.
Exemplar sustainable buildings go beyond achieving a single sustainability goal. They spearhead the transition to a healthy, low-carbon built environment by embracing a holistic approach to sustainability that benefits people, the planet, and communities alike.
With a similar rigour as the UK Passivhaus Awards, based on proven post-occupancy building performance, the awards criteria will consider resource efficiency including operational energy & embodied carbon, wider societal impacts, and more.
As with the ASBP Awards, categories will include buildings, products, & initiatives. These awards aim to recognise the visionary project teams and showcase the UK’s most exceptional and impactful buildings.
