June 2004
Holcim established the Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction in December 2003 to take a more active role in the discussion and directly promote sustainable construction. The most prominent activity of the Holcim Foundation is the global Holcim Awards for Sustainable Construction, a global competition that recognizes outstanding construction projects.
Our website search engine covers the web pages including project descriptions and expert profiles, PDFs, images and videos on the Holcim Foundation website. To improve your search results, here are some tips:
Our search defaults to term-pairing AND. If you search sustainable construction - then the search engine will look for any items containing sustainable AND construction
photovoltaic OR solar
Looks for either word
(clay OR mud) AND (school OR university)
Combine alternative terms for more specific searching
geothermal -heating
Excludes a term from results, automatically ANDs other terms listed
"zero carbon"
Use quotation marks to search for a specific phrase or combination
archit*
Asterisk (*) matches any word or phrase - so archit* will find architect, architecture, architectural as well as architrave
