Three new guides revealed
Publications cover CHP, ground source heat pumps and legionnaires’ disease
Three new publications are soon to be available from the CIBSE Knowledge Portal, giving members much-needed advice on a number of important topics.
AM12: Small-scale Combined Heat and Power
(CHP) (CIBSE Applications Manual 12) focuses on recent developments in the electricity generating, distribution and supply markets. These developments have allowed companies to consider developing electricity-generating plant to meet their own needs, which run in parallel with the grid system.
The manual, available now, provides guidance on the processes and advises how to assess, evaluate, design, install, operate and maintain a small-scale CHP system.
The second handbook, entitled
TM13: Minimising the risk of legionnaires’ disease, available in the next couple of months, offers
is an important reference document for keeping water systems safe from the risk of Legionella bacteria.
With concerns about the control of Legionella becoming an ever more signifi cant public health issue internationally, this publication is relevant for
a readership well beyond the UK’s shores. The Institution’s third manual, TM51: Ground
‘ Ground source heat pump systems can – if properly designed, integrated and applied – produce large-scale energy and carbon savings’
the reader vital information supporting the effective management of the risks, and demonstrates how to achieve pro-active compliance.
Whether you are a facilities/premises manager, engineer, consultant or other person responsible for designing, installing, operating and maintaining building water systems, this new edition of TM13
source heat pumps, centres on ground source heat pump systems, which can – if properly designed, integrated and applied – produce large-scale energy and carbon savings. Planning requirements, such as the renewable requirement in London, and increased energy effi ciency measures, such as Building Regulations Part L, have made ground source systems a key part of modern building heating and cooling solutions.
The purpose of this technical memorandum is to provide information for practitioners to enable ground source heat pumps to be properly applied, and their environmental and economic potential to be realised (available mid-February).
These publications will all be available at:

to get individual, face-to-face advice on any membership- related queries you may have. You can fi nd CIBSE at stand
N1150, so do make sure you stop by and say hello.
New Lighting Guide LG1: The Industrial Environment
The Society of Light & Lighting (SLL) has published a new Lighting Guide LG1: The Industrial Environment. The comprehensive guide
Ready Steady Light open for entries
Entries are now open for the Society of Light and Lighting’s 2013 Ready Steady Light competition.
The event, now in its 11th
year, will bring together up to 17 teams, competing to design an exterior lighting scheme in just three hours.
This year’s theme is once again a ‘return to basics’, whereby the site should be lit in its natural state without the use of props borrowed from around the site.
www.cibsejournal.com The competition is always
popular, so entry is restricted to one team per organisation, and teams are particularly encouraged to include fi rst- timers to the event. Each team must be led by a Society of Light and Lighting member.
This year’s event will be held on 19 March, at Rose Bruford College, Sidcup. For more information and to send in your application, visit
www.sll.org.uk
provides useful information for when designing, specifying or installing industrial lighting. Ensuring the right light gets to the right place on complex production machinery is crucial, particularly to ensure safety and maximum productivity. LG1: The Industrial
Environment therefore covers one of the most important areas within the parameters of lighting design and should be a ‘must have’ on the bookshelves of anyone with an interest in this area. The Guide is available from
the CIBSE Knowledge Portal at
