The 9th Healthy Housing Awards organized by the International Chair Healthy Marsh of the University of Alicante was presented past February 11th, 2015.

There are two important developments in this year's edition. The first one belongs to the field the organization since it has the incorporation of the Copenhagen School of Design and Technology of Denmark as a partner. This institution joins the University of Alicante, the Beuth Hochschule für Technik Berlin and the Hogeschool van Amsterdam expanding the possibilities for information exchange among participants and adding a new stage on which work healthy housing solutions.

The second innovation belongs to the teaching field because for the first time at the University of Alicante using BIM (Building Information Modelling) tools in teaching is introduced. The BIM tools, which replace the CAD tools are fully established in many European countries and have become an indispensable necessity in employment relationships with other countries in the field of construction.

The presentation will be attended by professors James Harty (Copenhagen School of Design and Technology) and Robert Demel (Beuth Hochschule für Technik Berlin) who later will participate in a workshop on BIM tools with students of Architecture.
