BouwBeurs Awards 2025 are:
Category Environmental Impact
Ibis for Environmental Impact from Brink Software
Ibis for Environmental Impact from Brink Software is a software tool with intuitive controls that seamlessly integrates environmental impact calculations with project budgets. Designed for construction professionals, the software provides real-time insight into carbon emissions, environmental cost indicators (EQI) and the financial impact of design decisions. The tool uses up-to-date data from the National Environmental Database and automates complex MPG calculations by automatically linking environmental maps to budget rows. Functionalities such as variant comparison and scenario analysis support informed choices.
Category Smart & Efficient
'Insulating in one day' from Prefab Insulation Netherlands
Prefab Insulation Netherlands offers an efficient method for interior insulation with minimal inconvenience to residents with 'Insulation in one day'. The process starts with a 3D scan of the house, followed by digital elaboration and production. The insulation is then installed in one day. Materials and finishes, such as biobased insulation, are customizable to specific needs. This approach significantly reduces assembly time, residual waste and work traffic, while allowing residents to remain in their homes. A great solution for inhabited renovations, mutation houses and complexes.
Category Tools & Craftsmen
TP60 Pull Test Kit from FIRST BASE Ground Screws
The TP60 Pull Test Kit from FIRST BASE Ground Screws is an innovative tool for on-site load capacity measurements. The compact system, developed in collaboration with Staht-Pull Testers UK, has a pull capacity of 60 kN and can perform a full load capacity measurement in just 10 minutes. Weighing only 20 kg, the TP60 is easy to transport and operate. Results are digitally recorded and shared via the FIRST BASE app.

Duco Natural Cooling by Duco Ventilation & Sun Control
Duco Natural Cooling offers an energy-efficient solution against overheating by combining demand-controlled shading with cooling through ventilation. This replaces energy-intensive air conditioning. The integrated Duco IntelliHub automatically controls the components based on weather data, such as temperature and wind speed, measured by the Duco Weather Station. Simulations show up to 80% energy savings in homes with underfloor cooling, and in apartments connected to heat networks an annual CO₂ reduction of 325 kg per home.
