The winners of the 4th annual ASBP Awards have been announced, following a ‘hybrid’ awards ceremony on Thursday 17th February at the EDGE Showroom in London and online.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all our finalists, longlisted entrants and all those that took the time to enter this year. Our judges were truly delighted with the quality of the entries and it was such a difficult task to decide on the finalists. We encourage those that were unsuccessful this year to submit again in 2022-23. Click here to find out more about all the fantastic entries longlisted this year.
The ASBP Awards would not be possible without the kind support of our sponsors. We’d like to thank Back to Earth (Gold sponsor), Ecomerchant (Silver sponsor), Allergy UK and natureplus (Bronze sponsors) for supporting the awards this year.
The in-person ceremony was very kindly hosted by EDGE in London. We can’t thank EDGE enough for their generous hosting and help with setting up the hybrid technology and most importantly… the post-ceremony drinks and snacks! If you haven’t already visited the EDGE Showroom, we encourage you to check them out.
We’d also like to thank our media partner Futurebuild, which is coming up soon at ExCel from 1st-3rd March. ASBP will be exhibiting on stand no. E64 in the Resourceful Materials zone and will also be showcasing the ASBP Awards finalists at a special Awards display on stand no. C72. We hope to see you there!
Finally, thank you to our terrific judges and all the attendees who joined us for the ceremony both in-person and online.
Without further ado, the 2022 ASBP Awards winners are…
The Forest Road SNUG home is the first of its kind. An offsite, custom-build, net zero-carbon home, built with the community, that challenges the idea of what a ‘house’ is. The SNUG is a two-storey 44m2 1 bedroom, 1 person home, with a small footprint to fit neatly into back gardens or leftover plots, helping provide affordable new homes and improve urban areas.
The Zetland Passive House project is the UK’s first certified EnerPHit Plus building. Originally built in 1894, this Passivhaus project is intended to provide a blueprint for retrofitting the UK’s 8 million pre-1930’s, hard to treat homes. Using natural, breathable materials and reusing all the recoverable, original fabric, the project is a pioneering example of sustainable low carbon retrofit.
The project involved the restoration, refurbishment and adaptation of a Grade II listed timber framed 17th century coaching inn. The design approach was to creatively preserve, integrate and showcase its heritage value while pioneering sustainable construction techniques. The result is a modern working environment with a historical fabric & natural materials that accommodates the needs of a growing business.
Accsys transforms fast-growing, certified sustainable wood through a proprietary acetylation process, which increases the already naturally-occurring acetyl content of wood, to produce Accoya wood. This reduces the ability to absorb water, making it more dimensionally stable and extremely durable. The result is a high performing product with sustainability credentials that exceed those of man-made, resource intensive alternatives.
Agile’s innovative, rapid, housing solution is high-quality, space-compliant, low-carbon and affordable. By unlocking land that’s free and “hidden in plain sight”, they eliminate costs, putting keys in front doors for social rent, shared ownership and open market. Built using an MMC panel system and renewable materials including UK timber, each home embeds 27 tonnes of carbon.
The RMF Eco range is in the simplest terms a reused raised floor panel that has been saved from landfill, cleaned, randomly tested and re-installed into the category B office fit out market. RMF work closely with demolition contractors across the UK to obtain raised flooring being stripped out of projects, identify what the system is and whether it has a reuse potential or not.
People Powered Retrofit is an initiative developed to offer an end-to-end owner occupier deep retrofit service in the Greater Manchester area, from advice and assessment through to design, procurement, quality assurance and evaluation. The initiative is a collaboration between research and design practice URBED and community energy organisation Carbon Co-op.
In March 2021, the Institution of Structural Engineers launched the Structural Carbon Tool, an open-source Excel-based carbon estimator, developed by Elliott Wood Partnership Ltd. The purpose of the tool was to enable structural engineers from any size of company to estimate, then reduce the embodied carbon of their designs.
Accurate product carbon data is needed to measure embodied carbon at a building level. The classical approach to developing an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is slow, expensive, and hard-to-coordinate. OneClickLCA’s solution makes EPDs accessible by slashing development time and cost. With more EPDs powering sustainable choices they aim to help decarbonise construction
