We introduced the CEMEX Building Awards in 1991 to recognize the best of Mexican construction. In 2004, the contest opened up to international entrants to promote a culture of innovation in the building industry.
In 2008, winners from 15 national contests participated in the international awards. An independent panel of judges selected winners in five categories, including special awards for sustainability and accessibility.
Projects that successfully address environmental impacts through design, construction, and operation are eligible for the sustainability prize. In 2008, first place went to the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center in San Leandro, California. This public sector facility used 93% of the materials from the building it replaced. Solar panels supply 60% of its energy needs, and efficient plumbing reduces water use by up to 41%.
The accessibility prize is awarded to the building project that best enables people with different types of disabilities to access and use a building. An urban restoration project in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, won the prize in 2008. The project regenerated a central area of the city, restoring buildings and creating new public spaces, all of which are easily accessible to all of the city's residents, regardless of their physical abilities.
