e have never before needed more engineers, more
urgently, to provide creative solutions to the challenges we face,” said Adrian Catchpole, incoming president of CIBSE in his Presidential address. “Our leadership is needed now
if we are going to have the impact required. This spans both our individual responsibilities and those of whole organisations. As engineers, we
must help move the built environment from being a signifi cant contributor to global emissions, to an exemplar of how to reduce them. Each one of us needs to step out of our comfort zone, step forward with solutions and commit to ‘taking a lead’ ’’. Catchpole said that CIBSE would be bringing forward guidance to support implementation of the Act, together with details of a new CIBSE Chartered Organisation Programme,
that will facilitate the demonstration of competence.
Catchpole also highlighted CIBSE’s leadership role in developing the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard, which he said would enable industry to ‘robustly’ demonstrate that their net assets are truly net zero. Catchpole used his address to launch a new CIBSE STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) Ambassador scheme.
