International Prize Categories

An independent Jury will select the European winners of the Energy Trophy®+ Competition. Differences in the existing levels of energy efficiency between participants' buildings will be accounted for in two categories.

Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

• Energy saved (in %) for the three best European energy savers in the category
  "low energy consumption level": < 219 kWh/m² x a (gold, silver, bronze)
• Energy saved (in %) for the three best European energy savers in the category
  "high energy consumption level": > 219 kWh/m² x a (gold, silver, bronze)
• Best in-house information and motivation campaign (gold, silver, bronze)

The information and motivation campaigns will be evaluated by the Jury according to the following criteria:

• Concept: how was the campaign planned and prepared?
• Action: how well was the campaign implemented, e.g. was it a one-off event or a campaign with regular activities?
• Innovation and Fun: how innovative and creative was the campaign?
• Dissemination effect: what PR and dissemination activities were implemented? Can the campaign be used for other topics or for other locations?

At a prize gala in Brussels the Europe-wide results will be announced and prizes will be presented to the international winners.
