Towards Class A Award Winners Gallery launched

Why a Gallery of Winners?
The objective of this gallery is to present the best contestants by generating an attractive poster summarising the main activities carried out, the highlights and results and finally some top tips. The diversity of European cities provides the appeal of the Gallery representing small, medium and large cities as well as four regions from 13 Countries.



Why an award for Communication?
Since 2003, the European Display® Campaign has shown that reducing the consumption of buildings in Europe, can significantly be accelerated if local authorities stimulate behavioural change by communicating the performances of their buildings to politicians, technicians, building users, and the public. Displaying Building Energy Certificates is just the first step in a long process to improve building performance. Without an active involvement of conscientious users, the investments in building design, more efficient electronic devices and advances in energy management can be wasted or not achieve its intended potential. The creation of a European Award linking building certification to high-quality and original communication campaigns demonstrates that local governments can lead by example to making Europe more energy efficient.
