2024 Awards
About the 2024 Active House Awards
The 2024 Active House Awards are a key recognition given out by Active House International, a global association renowned for establishing standards aimed at creating healthier and more comfortable buildings.
The 2024 Active House Awards celebrated and promoted best practices in the field of sustainable and people-centric buildings. They showcased exemplary application of the Active House principles in building projects. This involved balancing the elements of comfort, energy, and environment in building design to improve the quality of life of occupants while ensuring sustainability.
- The Active House RADAR Master Awards were opened to realised projects that fully apply Active House Radar.
- Active House Principle Awards were opened to both completed and fully developed designs that successfully reflect the Active House Principles.
Joining the Active House Awards not only validated the dedication and hard work of the awardees but also helped inspire other architects, builders, and designers to pursue sustainable and human-centric building projects.
Active House Award winners will be granted a certificate of recognition for their remarkable work in the field. Furthermore, their winning projects are published and highlighted on the Active House International Alliance website, giving them global exposure, and setting a benchmark for future aspirants in this field.
