Open Call: What Is The Most Sustainable Building?

What building is most sustainable?

Bloxhub and Nordkranen would like to identify and intend to pose this question for debate. How should we gauge and assess this? Should it be the house that has attained the highest score in DGNB, or the one with the lowest LCA score, or perhaps something else entirely?

Bloxhub and Nordkranen plan to invite various projects to illustrate and deliberate on this topic. These projects should encompass diverse facets of sustainability, aiming to initiate a discussion about which elements can or should be quantified and evaluated.

This initiative would assemble a panel of experts, the showcased projects, and an audience, allowing them to deliberate and offer concrete examples of what sustainability entails. The goal is to explore whether it holds significance to designate a building as the most sustainable, fostering a meaningful dialogue.

Please submit your project and get a chance to show it in BLOXHUB Members Lounge.

Submission date: September 22, 2023. 

• An expert panel from business, org., and academia will choose five projects based on the following:
  • The building that has achieved the highest score in DGNB.
  • The building with the lowest LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) score.
  • The building with the greatest potential for future recycling (dismantlable).
  • The most future-proof/flexible structure (most extended lifespan).
  • The building with the best focus on efficient space utilization. Energy/CO2 consumption per person rather than per square meter.

The five projects will be exhibited in the Bloxhub Members Lounge. The selected projects are not compensated for the cost of models, prints, etc.

The five projects will be revealed at an event on 26 October 20 23 at 14:00-16:00 in Arena, Bloxhub. The event, presentation, and discussion will be moderated by the Chief of Innovation at BLOXHUB, Ditte Lysgaard Vind.
