Tell us about your training


This is a good time for all new trainees, who may be following an approved employer training scheme, to register their training with CIBSE. Trainees must also hold a


grade of CIBSE membership – for example, graduate for those progressing towards ACIBSE/IEng or MCIBSE/CEng, or student for LCIBSE/EngTech – and, if they have not already applied, we would invite them to do so as soon as possible. School leavers who are on an


appropriate academic course of study are eligible to apply for student membership. Information and application forms for all grades of CIBSE membership are available on CIBSE’s website in the Membership section. The T&D Plan Registration


Form is included in the current T&D Manual, and trainees can email the form to owilliams@ cibse.org Confirmation of registration will be sent via email. Further information is available at www.cibse.org, under: CIBSE > IPD & CPD > Employer Training Schemes.


Annual Lecture


Chris Wise will present the 2011 Annual Lecture, addressing the rhetorical question: ‘I wonder what it would feel like if we did that?’ The lecture, to be held on 10 November at the Wellcome Gallery in London, will be in three parts covering the role of the vital trace elements of imagination, empathy and physicality in engineering design. l www.cibse.org/ annuallecture


Intelligent cities seminar


The CIBSE Intelligent Buildings Group will host a seminar on ‘Intelligent Cities’ at the Science Museum on 8 December. Sponsored by Accenture, it will feature a range of experts from academia, government and business. Topics will include sustainable masterplanning and building design. l www.cibse.org/ibg

Renew your membership now and access the Knowledge Portal


As soon as you renew your 2012 membership subscription you will get online access to the new CIBSE Knowledge Portal. This exciting new tool allows you unlimited free access to search and download the full range of CIBSE published guidance, including all the guides, commissioning codes, applications manuals, technical memoranda and more. This comprehensive reference tool also provides


links to other publications and to thousands of British Standards carefully selected to be directly relevant to building services engineers. Membership subscriptions are due for renewal


on 1 January 2012, but if you pay before then you can gain access to the Knowledge Portal immediately. The Portal gives unlimited access to our library


of more than 150 authoritative, peer-reviewed publications – worth more than £5,000 – identified by text search or browsing. This will give you access to universally acknowledged industry best practice guidance from experts in their field, and enable you to keep up to date easily. These essential publications provide guidance


on a wide variety of topics, from lighting to ventilation, solar shading to lifts, and much more. They can be viewed online or downloaded as pdf files for reference later. Due to its enhanced features, the Knowledge Portal will replace the CIBSE Bookshop. The Knowledge Portal provides information


for 150 other carefully selected publications from leading publishers that are available to purchase in hard copy from CIBSE (usually at preferential member prices). Also included are links to around 3,200 current British Standards, selected for their direct relevance to the work of building services engineers, which are individually linked for more information on each, or for purchasing through the British Standards Institution (BSI) website. The search functionality works across all Knowledge Portal content, presenting the results


in clear subsets – CIBSE, other documents, and BSI. Documents are interlinked, allowing users to follow cross referrals from one document to another.


Whatever your role in the built environment,


the work you do is underpinned by experience and expertise. The Knowledge Portal provides a convenient, portable and comprehensive reference tool that puts the world of building services knowledge at your fingertips.


How to renew your membership subscription


As well as access to the Knowledge Portal (see above), your membership subscription offers many other benefits: professional recognition of your qualification, subscription to the monthly Journal, networking opportunities through the regional and special interest groups, substantial discounts on CIBSE hard copy publications and discounts on CIBSE events, conferences and training. Subscriptions are due for renewal on


1 January 2012. Your 2012 subscription renewals notice will be sent to you shortly with a statement of your fees and how to pay. There are several payment methods


available. If you have a bank account in the UK, then payment by direct debit is the easiest method and offers a 5% discount. Members overseas can pay by continuous credit authority. These payments will be collected on 1 February 2012. For the 2012 subscriptions, we are also introducing an additional benefit, enabling payment by direct debit in three installments, although you will not receive the 5% discount. Alternatively, you can renew online at


www.cibse.org/members, by phone with a debit/credit card, or by sending a cheque. If you are experiencing difficulty in paying your subscription, please get in touch with us as soon as possible, explaining your circumstances, so we can work out a payment plan.
