Final spurt: Apply now for the façade prize and the special energy efficiency prize

Until 27.09.2024, building owners can enter their new build or renovation projects in the city of Jena for the façade prize and the special energy efficiency prize. The award is intended to recognize beautifully designed facades, as the flair of a city depends on the aesthetic aspects of its buildings. The sponsors of the façade prize have been successfully promoting many of these architectural gems in Jena since 1993.

Special prize for energy efficiency

In addition to the actual façade prize, the special prize for energy efficiency is also awarded for projects in which the architecture is combined with the use of renewable energies and technologies to increase energy efficiency in a particularly exemplary quality.
