Green Building Calculator https://greenbuildingcalculator.uk has won a Green Apple Award for environmental best practice: https://thegreenorganisation.info
GBE Green Building Calculator enables investigation of a proposed building to obtain information regarding Energy Consumption and Carbon in use. It is an impartial, easy to use product that can make a real difference to the world around us. Different building shapes, methods of construction, materials choices and resultant energy demand and consumption can be compared easily.
Architects and other professionals now have a quick way of creating greener buildings or easing their way into the ‘New Normal’. Moreover, they will understand why 50mm of stone wool insulation, shown in ageing textbooks, is no longer enough and sometimes has the wrong properties for the application. They will be able to do their own U value calculation independently of manufacturers or suppliers.
Green Apple Environment Awards recognises, rewards and promotes environmental best practice around the world. The Awards were launched in 1994 by The Green Organisation and have become well established as one of the most popular environmental campaigns in the world.
They have now extended into the Green World Awards: the largest environmental awards campaign on Earth, with entries from Governments, Ministries and Regional Authorities as well as companies, organisations and communities.
