relationships with owners and their buildings in order to improve environmental performance,’ he says.

mixture of speakers and panel discussions on different elements of green refurbishment. Kate McCormack and George
Young engineers from different disciplines, which included architecture, debated key industry issues at the conference dinner in 2010
be chaired by president-elect Andy Ford. Says Manning: ‘We must be ready
to undertake the refurbishment task where building owners require it, either because they are driven by simple economics or they are driven by legislation, such as the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Effi ciency Scheme. ‘The building industry needs to create

Adams of SPIE Matthew Hall will speak on ‘The value proposition for clients needed to win refurbishment tenders’. This session will seek to help building services engineers to demonstrate to clients the value that can be achieved via refurbishment projects. A session by David Frise of the
Heating and Ventilating Contractors Association will look at how to access the practical information needed to achieve low-carbon refurbishment, and David Hucker, from Cyril Sweett, will be giving a talk entitled ‘Cost planning for refurbishment projects’, which will provide current cost information on refurbishment and its component parts. Other topics to be covered at the event will include a look at
how district heating systems can help make refurbishment more cost effective. There will also be a look at using wireless control technologies in the refurbishment process, and an overview of the new Passivhaus standard for commercial refurbishments. Real- life case studies will alert delegates to some of the risks they may not have encountered themselves. The event will end with a panel
discussion entitled ‘Knock it down and start again’, in which a developer, a building services engineer, an architect and an energy expert will debate the merits of refurbishment versus new builds. Representatives from RIBA and the Technology Strategy Board are expected to be among the panel members. After the one-day conference
– which will be held at the Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden – a dinner hosted by the CIBSE Young Engineers’ Network will be held. To fi nd out more, and to book your place at the conference, visit the CIBSE website at www.
