Abstract
High comfort with minimum energy requirements, low operating costs and innovative technology combined as part of outstanding architecture – these are the goals to be achieved by the buildings of the future, and represent the focus of the “Architecture with Energy” awards, which have a prize fund of 100,000 euros. Innovative building developers, architects and specialist engineers are encouraged to enter their plans for new buildings or refurbishment projects and to apply for the support available for model projects as part of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology’s “Energy-optimised building” research programme.
