EcoWan shortlisting here and final winner here.
In the short clip, I make the point that shortlisting was difficult as the projects were so diverse: from small community rooms and houses all over the world to skyscraper offices and plaza's. Hence as a team we decided to represent the different scales and functions of buildings throughout the shortlisting.
I also make the point that performance data, i.e. how buildings actually perform, would be useful in the submission of projects to sustainability awards - as this is after all a building's true sustainability test.
