Sustainability Award 2012
On 1 November 2012, the City of Zurich awarded the Sustainable Refurbishment award for socially acceptable residential renovations for the first time.
The prize was awarded to renovations that, in addition to economic and ecological aspects, also take into account the social dimension of sustainability.
With this award, the city honors renovation projects that contribute to the housing policy goal of renewing the building fabric as socially acceptable as possible.

At the first presentation of the Sustainable Renovation Awards, the City of Zurich awarded seven projects and awarded recognition to four buildings.
