New LUCKINSlive.com directory launched
to provide building users with buildings that are as excellent in operation as they are on the drawing board. The only way they can achieve this is to ensure that they specify the right products and that they are competently installed. ‘I believe LUCKINSlive.com
– accessible via CIBSE’s website – will be a resource to which industry professionals turn on an almost daily basis.’ Amtech group managing
Amtech’s Mark Tindall and CIBSE’s Stephen Matthews sign the deal.
n

Appeal for founder members for new ‘homes for the future’ group
A proposal has been received to establish a special interest group on homes for the future. It will aim to inform and promote
best practice in building services when constructing better homes. The main areas of interest will be energy strategies and services for new and refurbished homes, and their integration with overall fabric and design. There is a growing demand for high-quality housing to meet increasingly complex design and performance standards, as well as the challenging targets for delivery and performance of housing – namely Part L1 of the Building Regulations and the Code for Sustainable Homes. The zero
carbon housing agenda poses a significant engineering challenge, as will refurbishment of existing housing stock to achieve low- carbon performance. At present, the house-building
agenda is being developed with limited detailed engagement with building services engineers – and this will not be sufficient to deliver the zero carbon goal. The principal terms of reference for the proposed group are: • To act as a knowledge exchange for best practice and to increase members’ knowledge, skills and awareness of techniques, tools and solutions for the residential market; • To provide accurate information
to meet service demands, planning requirements and Building Regulations; • To produce information on fabric design, and analysis and engineering systems that are practical, modern and sustainable; • To propose and contribute to the development of new publications, to provide design guidance; • To work with other CIBSE groups to ensure knowledge is included on residential services design; and • To identify and support the research required to fill the knowledge gaps. The group needs support from
20 CIBSE members to proceed.
