A TIME FOR CELEBRATION
The second-ever CIBSE Building Performance Awards 2012 were held last month to mark the real energy efficiency achievements made in building services
2012, which were sponsored by Imtech. In total, 15 awards were presented at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, last month to honour those contractors, clients, consultancies and projects that have gone the extra mile to lower carbon emissions, reduce energy use and ensure buildings perform as intended. As last year, CIBSE president Andy Ford presented the Graduate of the Year award to 2011 winner, Angela Malynn, a mechanical engineer with Arup, before BBC newscaster Huw Edwards took to the stage. Launching the awards, Edwards said: ‘I’ve had
S
a special new focus on some of the buildings I’ve seen, what people are trying to achieve with the design of those buildings, how green are they, how carbon friendly or restrictive are they, all of these things are very, very big factors, not just in tonight’s awards, of course, but in the way we think about building projects for the future and the kind of buildings we are leaving to future generations.’ Much praise was given to the winning projects
by the judges, who were impressed by the standard of submissions and, for the first time since the awards were launched, specially commended a project – by Fraser Brown MacKenna Architects. Entered as part of the Refurbishment category, the Queen Mary University’s GE Fogg Building in London underwent a £2.9m transformation, which reduced solar gain by 20% and improved thermal comfort, as well as giving it a striking new identity.
