As the voting for the winner was only concluded during the live event, there is no project video for the winner: Sports Centre Kerenzerberg by Soltris GmbH (Switzerland).

At the People's Choice Award, the audience has the final say. With an area of over 125'000m2, the Kerenzerberg sports centre is the third largest sports centre for mass sports in Switzerland and includes 9 sports halls, 1 indoor swimming pool, various outdoor sports facilities, 94 rooms, 2 restaurants, 9 theory rooms, fitness centre and physiotherapy. In the project, all energy efficiency measures were realised by integrating the building automation with the hotel reservation system. All sensible automatisms were realised, which resulted in a significant cost reduction in the operational maintenance.

Key features are:

• Coupling of business process with building automation
• Lighting: 80% energy savings were achieved
• HVAC: 40% energy savings were achieved
• Maintenance costs reduced thanks to the combination of KNX and EisBär
