The resilience of buildings deserves an award!
Resilience is a very fashionable word in the start-up world at the moment, and it is now arriving in the construction sector too. The Mission Risques Naturels (MRN) has just launched the first Trophées Bâtiments Résilients, in partnership with the Agence Qualité Construction (AQC) and Construction21, and with the support of the Fédération Française de l'Assurance (FFA) and the Ministère de la Transition Écologique et Solidaire.

This construction award is open to both new and renovated buildings. It will look at how a building withstands floods, earthquakes, drought, tornadoes, avalanches and even hail. Among the criteria assessed are carbon impact, biodiversity, occupant comfort and social innovation.
If you have an eligible building, built in France and completed between 1 January 2015 and 30 September 2020, you can enter it on the award's dedicated website. The closing date for entries is 30 June 2020.
