The overall winner at the Awards, the CIBSE Carbon Champion of the Year (sponsored by Remeha Commercial), is made to the individual, team or organisation chosen from the winners in each category that has made the most outstanding contribution to achieving improved building performance.

Chairman of the Judging Panel, Dr Hywel Davies, said: 'The Building Performance Awards are not just about impressive design aesthetics, but evidence of exemplary performance. We have seen an increased number of submissions with real data about the performance of the entry. What has also been notable this year is the increased level of interest from the retail sector indicative that energy performance in these estates is being taken seriously.'

The winners of the 2014 Building Performance Awards will be announced at a ceremony on Tuesday 11 February at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.
