Cover: Dean Farrow 2013 BUILDING PERFORMANCE AWARDS JUDGES
is on engineering buildings that are proven to work fi rst time to give an excellent internal environment, that have low environmental impact and when meters are read consume no more energy than they needed. Improved performance brings economic benefi ts, not
just to owners and operators but to the wider economy. Since buildings use nearly half our energy, this should be a matter of national priority. It’s even more critical as this is an age of increasing uncertainty about the supply and security of energy. The Building Performance Awards showcase the
exemplar products, people and projects leading the way in innovation and engineering excellence. These projects show us what can be achieved and raise the bar of best practice for all of us in the industry. It is crucial that the impact of these Awards goes
far and wide. CIBSE will be showcasing the projects at Ecobuild and throughout the year in the CIBSE Journal. Feedback from innovation and excellence must be shared and promoted in order to raise standards. It is the life blood of the CIBSE Knowledge Portal now used in over 130 countries. Building performance is at the heart of everything that CIBSE does and these successes should be shouted from the rooftops.
