BUILDING ENVELOPE DESIGN COMPETITION
DESIGN AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT BUILDING ENVELOPE FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN!
We’re excited to announce an envelope design competition! If you’re an industry professional, a student in the field, or you’re just interested in energy-efficient building envelope technologies, you can participate for a chance to win!
This competition, organized in collaboration with the City of Winnipeg, Sustainable Buildings Manitoba, Efficiency Manitoba, Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) – Winnipeg Chapter, and the Building Efficiency Technology Access Centre (BETAC), will showcase your creativity and skills in designing envelopes for new buildings. Participants will design an envelope for a new theoretical addition to an existing community space, meeting Tier 3 of the 2024 Manitoba Building Code.
As our climate changes, it’s important to ensure that the building envelope can withstand these environmental challenges. This competition invites participants to design a prototype for the architectural envelope of a building façade that ensures overall efficient building performance while maintaining a striking aesthetic.
THE ASK
Design a prototype of a statement building envelope that stands out architecturally, adheres to the standards of the National Energy Building Code (NEBC) 2020, and is both energy efficient and resilient in our changing environment. Learn more about the project background, competition deliverables, and submission requirements.
