The Sustainability category is seeking entries that highlight the positive and sustainable affect that the use of clay brick has had on a project and the environment.
The Award is open to low or zero carbon buildings or built projects in the UK, which are wholly or mainly built of clay brick, and which highlight innovative capabilities and achievements across the entire project, including:
1) Design
2) Build (including fabrication, assembly or construction)
3) Operation of the building
4) Impact on the local community or environment.
Projects must have been completed within the last two years, and either: substantially use BDA-member bricks or; substantially use reclaimed brick if, they are reasonably suspected of being originally manufactured in the UK.
