The ENERGY GLOBE Certificate is an internationally recognized hallmark for sustainability. In some countries the National Award is split into categories, and the winners not only get the certificates but even the popular trophies. PEAKapp contended in the Upper Austrian Energy Globe Award version for a distinguished regional project that conserves resources such as energy, utilizes renewable or emission-free sources.

A high number of premium sustainable projects from the region competed in five categories: “Earth”, “Youth”, “Luft”, “Wasser” and “Sustainable Plastics”. The overall winner of Energy Globe Award Oberösterreich 2019 was Tp3 Architekten with its school refurbishment project and EnergieAG´s project connecting heat pumps and district heating in the city of Gmunden.

Nine other projects were nominated for the main award in the category and received the Honourable Mention of the Jury and the certificate.

It was a remarkable event that showed the creative drive of energy innovators for the preservation of the environment.
