ENTRIES have opened for the Accelerate to Zero Awards, which return this year for the third time.
The awards recognise businesses, organisations, and individuals making significant contributions to decarbonising the built environment and supporting the just transition to a zero carbon built environment.
This year, a ceremony will take place on November 6 at Oran Mor in Glasgow, following the International Retrofit Summit, which is part of BE-ST Fest.
BE-ST Fest, delivered by BE-ST (Built Environment – Smarter Transformation), plays host to discussion and knowledge exchange on how to break through barriers to accelerate the journey to net zero. This year, debates on how to scale solutions and create a viable path to a sustainable future will take centre stage.
The Accelerate to Zero Awards are free to enter and offer a platform to celebrate the progress, innovation and impact being made within the sector.
BE-ST has started to assemble a panel of judges with expertise across the built environment, academic, and innovation sectors. So far, the panel includes: Joanna Campbell (principal & CEO, Glasgow Kelvin College); Gina Colley (associate director, Threesixty Architecture); Emma Fletcher (low carbon housing director, Octopus Energy); Rufus Grantham (co-founder, Living Places); Andrew Lamond (director, Energy Training Academy); Andrew Money (founding director, Carbon Futures); Mairi Murray (head of sustainability, BakerHicks); Tomas O’Leary (MD, MosArt); and Chloe Yuill (architect, ECD Architects and BE Change Maker chair).
All the categories from last year are back including the Accelerate to Zero Hero Award which recognises a standout individual or organisation making a remarkable contribution to decarbonising the built environment, chosen by both the judging panel and by a public vote.
