CIBSE BUILDING PEFORMANCE AWARDS 2013 SHORTLIST
Susie Diamond, John Field and Graham Manly weigh up the entries
The category for New Build Project of the
Year (value up to £5m) was ‘keenly contested’, and judges were impressed by the level of data from some of the entries, as well as by the application of sound engineering principles to help deliver very good buildings. The judges feared the Building Operation
Award would attract entries full of corporate marketing gloss, but were pleasantly surprised. ‘They were all good entries,’ said Kevin Kelly, president elect SLL and head of electrical services engineering, Dublin Institute of Technology. ‘There were no weak ones.’ The Training for Building Performance
David Vincent and Paddy Conaghan
Award attracted entrants from a wide range of fi rms – from large developers with extensive training plans to small consultants with simple but brilliant methods of disseminating information. The fi nal shortlist represents the diversity of the entrants. The judges spoke highly of the shortlisted entrants in the Contractor of the Year category. ‘These are very good examples of quality contractors,’ said Graham Manly, business development director, Gratte Brothers. ‘Industry would recognise these companies as good fi rms.’ This was another very closely contested category that stimulated a lively discussion among the judges. In the product categories there was a

good range of entrants covering products that use energy as well as the passive category featuring innovative products that reduce energy use in buildings. The judges said they ‘enjoyed’ reading the entries and said they hoped more manufacturers would be encouraged to enter next year to show off the capacity for innovation in the industry. The Client Energy Management Award was
another close run contest. The judges were pleased to see it had attracted entries from organisations taking a long-term approach to reducing energy use and cutting energy emissions. ‘We felt there were some good examples of what clients can do to improve energy effi ciency in buildings,’ said Davies. Shortlisting for the Refurbishment
Project Award was more clear cut, with everyone agreeing on the best schemes. The judges thought the category important. ‘Refurbishment is always diffi cult and we need to promote examples of good practice,’ said Foroutan Parand, URS, head of building physics, URS Infrastructures and Environment UK. The winners of the awards will be revealed
by TV personality and former Conservative MP Gyles Brandreth at the Grosvenor House Hotel on 5 February 2013. CJ
