Building Product Marketers: Get your products seen by the world’s best architects through the 2021 A+Product Awards<\/a>! Submit your products<\/a> before the Final Entry Deadline on August 13th<\/strong> this year.<\/em><\/p>\n

By now, the impact of the AEC industry on our planet is common knowledge. As of 2019, global construction accounted for a mammoth 38% of carbon emissions<\/a>, while lobby group Architecture 2030<\/a> states that embodied carbon will be responsible for approximately half of total new construction emissions<\/a> between now and 2050.<\/p>\n

These statistics, coupled together with the increasingly alarming impacts of climate change around the world, mean architects can no longer use ignorance as an excuse to continue specifying materials \u2018as normal\u2019 in the coming years. In order to preserve their own firm\u2019s reputation and meet the concerns of their clients, designers now view the sustainability of products and materials not as an optional quality, but as an essential requirement for building specification.<\/p>\n

For this reason, sustainability \u2014 in all its definitions \u2014 will play a key role in deciding which brands will emerge triumphant in the 2021 A+Product Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Up front, there is a dedicated A+Product category in this realm \u2014 the Sustainable Design Award<\/a> celebrates products that are among the most sustainable in their field. This includes but is not limited to products that minimize or actively help reduce carbon emissions, highly energy efficient products, products that facilitate passive heating and cooling, products with a sustainable \u201ccradle to grave\u201d lifecycle, and products that utilize locally sourced or recycled materials.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s winners and finalists in this category showcase the extraordinarily diverse approaches brands are taking to pioneer more sustainable design solutions for architects. One of the most eye-catching examples is Studio Samira Boon\u2019s BioOrigami<\/a>, a range of sculptural acoustic wall panels constructed using textile waste from jute coffee bags and bio-based plastic.<\/p>\n

BioOrigami is definitive proof that employing salvaged materials need not compromise a designer\u2019s aesthetic goals \u2014 the visual appeal of these stunning, undulating panels are comparable to products by the most sophisticated of luxury brands. Similarly, 3Form\u2019s Flek partitions<\/a> \u2014 another finalist in last year\u2019s A+Product Awards \u2014 is constructed from a material reminiscent of translucent terrazzo, but actually made of 75% recycled resin trimmings.<\/p>\n

Besides the introduction of innovative new materials, many manufacturers are also reimagining traditional architectural systems and components to reduce their long term impact on the environment. The design for Benheim\u2019s Ventilated Glass Fa\u00e7ade for Parking Structures, which won the 2020 Popular Choice Award in the Sustainable Design category, allows mechanical ventilation to be substituted with passive ventilation, helping to conserve energy throughout the building\u2019s lifecycle.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Zauben\u2019s Model Z Living Wall<\/a> \u2014 winner of the Jury Vote in the same category \u2014 employs \u201ccradle to cradle\u201d certified materials that contribute to LEED v4 and WELL certifications. The verdant product uses hydroponic technology that consumes 75% less water than plants grown in soil, self-irrigates, and includes moisture sensors monitored by a plant care app, making sure plants remain healthy. Zauben\u2019s Founder Zach Smith went into further detail about the design and development of the Model Z in this exclusive interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While they vary widely in form, function and creative approach, these products are united by one significant quality \u2014 they provide a more sustainable alternative to earlier iterations in their class. Without compromising on aesthetic style \u2014 which will undoubtedly remain key to clients in perpetuity \u2014 these product innovations contribute to a construction industry that is edging in the right direction when it comes to energy consumption, material reuse and carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

While these products scooped accolades in a category that relates most explicitly to sustainability, the reality is that products across all<\/em> categories must possess \u2018green\u2019 traits in order to be taken seriously by the AEC industry. The bar for architects is being raised year after year, with LEED requirements and other certifications evolving to reflect the increasingly urgent need to reduce carbon emissions globally. Similarly, one of the A+Product Awards core judging criteria \u2014 Impact \u2014 requires jurors to consider the environmental impact of products when deciding which brands deserve to receive the highest accolades.<\/p>\n

What might be viewed as a complex challenge by designers constitutes an opportunity for forward-thinking manufacturers. Brands with the most cutting edge materials and manufacturing techniques can position themselves as thought leaders, acting as valuable sustainability consultants for architects and making their products an essential component of future projects. The A+Product Awards provide them with a powerful platform to showcase their knowledge and make connections with architecture firms around the world.<\/p>\n

While the construction industry as a whole continues to grapple with its role in mediating the impacts of climate change, one thing is for sure \u2014 the winners of this year\u2019s A+Product Awards will feature prominently in the greener buildings of tomorrow.<\/p>\n
