The CIBSE Low Carbon Performance awards have
been reviewed, revised and repositioned, and in 2011, CIBSE will be hosting the Building Performance Awards. Once again, the awards
will reward excellence in the development and management of low carbon buildings, but they will also take into consideration a variety of other factors that have an impact on the performance of a building. The awards will recognise the buildings that are operating at the highest standard – rewarding actual performance and not just potential – and will demonstrate the value building services engineers, consultancies and other professionals have on the development and operations on buildings. The 14 awards categories have
been designed to incorporate each stage in the development of a building and recognise those who play a part at each stage, from the initial training

and skills of the people involved, to the products, the commissioning, and, finally, those operating the building.
The categories are:
• Training for Building Performance Award;
• Building Services Consultancy of the Year Award;
• Carbon Champion of the Year. The winners will be announced on 9 February 2011, at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, with an evening celebrating the advancements and achievements of the industry. For more information on
entry forms and criteria, visit:
www.cibseawards.org. The closing date for entries to be received is 8 October 2010.
Coalition seeks industry views
Almost a dozen government consultations are currently underway – and the technical team at CIBSE HQ will be co-ordinating responses to them all. The building-related consultations range from microgeneration through to OFGEM, smart meters, skills for sustainable growth and Building Regulations. The technical team will be
seeking input from the relevant special interest groups and committees. Some of these exercises are running to very tight timescales. For example, the letter from the Department of Communities and Local Government seeking input and
evidence on compliance with Building Regulations was issued on 3 August, but requested responses by 31 August. The consultation on
microgeneration is running to a slightly longer timetable, although some initial scoping workshops have already been held. This consultation is looking at quality, training, certification, skills and availability of advice and information. CIBSE is already involved in the initial studies, and will be seeking contributions from groups with an interest in this topic. To enable us to manage the
CIBSE response to these various consultations, we have revised the
consultations area of the CIBSE website. We now have a dedicated page for each consultation, which gives a brief summary of the scope, and links to the relevant documents. It will also have a link to the draft CIBSE response as that develops, with a mechanism for members to comment on the draft. To see the latest information, go
to
www.cibse.org/consultations We are keen to involve CIBSE
members in the development of our responses to these consultations. We will be seeking input from the various groups, societies and committees, but there will be many others who can contribute views and evidence to support our case.
