Jon Belfield, president of the BCIA Our shared goal


We’re now 30 years away from 2050 which is the UK’s self-imposed deadline for becoming carbon neutral. Our shared goal is to convert the destination that is 2050 to the journey that is 30 years. There is a terrific business opportunity for our sector and if you are just starting out on your career you are in for a very engaged and exciting few decades where you can make the difference. This will also be a period when the expectation of IoT and smart buildings will be realised. With the ability of the new generations of college leavers coming through readily able to adapt and embrace the rapid development of smart technology, it’s crucial that we now capitalise on the combination of skills that we have across the generations.


Integral to how we nurture this talent is the standards we set, which will, in turn, improve industry competency and 2020 will see the launch of the BEMS Trailblazer Apprenticeship standard (already approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships). Trailblazers are revolutionising the way quality training is being delivered and fully embraces the fact that every company in the UK, large or small, can recruit and train on an affordable budget. The primary aim is to achieve full professional recognition for BEMS Control Engineers so it can be promoted as a career path with a clear structure for training and success. We now have a collective challenge to see the journey to net zero in 2050 as both a responsibility and business opportunity.


The run up to 2050 – the UK’s net zero carbon emissions target year – will be a period when the expectation of IoT and smart buildings will be realised
