The Ceremony was held during the European Union Sustainable Energy Week, at the end of high profile event "Communicate your buildings energy rating - 7 magical years of the Display® Campaign", with Pekka Sauri, deputy mayor of Helsinki (FI), announcing the winners as the president of this year’s Jury.
Mr Sauri said: "Judging was not easy at all. All the finalists had shown many positive efforts and it could have gone either way. With a different jury, the results might have been quite different too."
At the end, Lille (FR) proved to be one step beyond and thanks to their unique communication campaign and activities over the past year, the French city won the TCA Award 2011!
The second and third prizes respectively went to Cork County (IR) and Velenje (SL).
Congratulations to winners!
And once again, the clear and strong message is sent: "By communicating the performance of your buildings you can achieve many positive things. You will improve your buildings performance as well as become leader of energy efficiency in public buildings in your region and country! Turn confrontation into communication!
