e’re barely two months into 2014, but we’ve already had two of the biggest events in the building services calendar. The ASHRAE Winter Conference in New
York offered us plenty to ponder, while the annual CIBSE Building Performance Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel gave the industry 15 very good reasons to celebrate (see the Awards supplement for information on all the category winners). The big winners at the awards were M&S and Sustainable Design Solutions (SDS), which together won New Build Project of the Year (value over £10m) for their work delivering the M&S Cheshire Oaks store, and took the title of overall Carbon Champion. Monitoring proves the services concepts were successfully designed, installed and maintained. M&S and SDS offer plenty of useful lessons for clients wanting to ensure energy reductions are real and lasting. Turn to page 34 to fi nd out how M&S intends to roll out the design principles across the rest of its estate and cut carbon by 40% by 2015 from 2006/7 levels. There was plenty of innovation and research on show at seminars during the ASHRAE Winter Conference, including a look at the effects air-tight homes can have on indoor air quality,
Bangladeshi factories can be vastly improved using simple passive strategies
and low impact design trends in Africa. The 2013 winner of the Ken Dale Travel Bursary, Kayley Lockhead, showed how biogas was being used in villages to help replace kerosene as a fuel. One country that is benefi ting from
the expertise of a CIBSE engineer is Bangladesh. Ramboll’s Farah Naz has been working with well-known fashion brands to
help improve conditions for garment factory workers. Our feature on page 48 reveals the true cost of our £2 T-shirts, with workers in the machine rooms subjected to temperatures of up to 40o
C. Naz
says the factories can be vastly improved using simple passive strategies, such as extensive use of daylighting – hopefully workers will soon be reaping the benefi ts of her work. Back in the UK, we have been preoccupied by fl ooding. A BBC analysis of media coverage from previous fl oods found the same recurring theme – a lack of planning. CIBSE is among those institutions calling for government to change its approach to water management and rethink the way it manages, stores and distributes water (see page 12). We now need to see our politicians take the necessary long-term view.
