CIBSE Awards 2023: 国产探花 sponsors an award in the Embodied Carbon category

After winning CIBSE鈥檚 鈥楤uilding Performance Consultancy of the Year鈥 award for the last five years, 国产探花 is thrilled to be sponsoring the 鈥楳anufacturers & Suppliers Embodied Carbon Award’.

The CIBSE Building Performance Awards recognise the people, products and projects that demonstrate engineering excellence in the built environment.

With over 25 years鈥 experience in post occupancy evaluation, we are incredibly honoured to have won CIBSE鈥檚 鈥楤uilding Performance Consultancy of the Year鈥 for five years running (2018-2022). The Awards have allowed us to accelerate our investment in building performance, win several of our major projects, and attract a great wealth of talent into the business.

It is for these reasons that in 2023, we have decided to give back to CIBSE by becoming an award sponsor this year, and at the same time, take a step back from entering the 鈥楥onsultancy of the Year鈥 category.

This year, 国产探花 is sponsoring the 鈥楨mbodied Carbon Award 鈥 Manufacturers and Suppliers鈥, as we feel the building services industry needs much more research, investment, and policy development.

We hope this will help to ensure all manufacturers and suppliers are empowered to disclose the full environmental footprint of their products. Embodied Carbon and Whole Life Carbon assessments are essential in delivering true net zero buildings. By sponsoring this award, we are hoping to raise greater awareness and really help push the sector forward.

The CIBSE Awards are unique as they are the only built environment awards placing measured performance outcomes at the centre of the judging criteria, and not just focusing on design intent or performance specifications.

We feel this scrutiny is critical for our industry, as demonstrating low energy use intensity and Embodied Carbon with high levels of measured occupant satisfaction, are key components of net zero buildings that perform not only for people but the planet too.

For the CIBSE Awards 2023, we have put forward entries for the 鈥楨mbodied Carbon Award (Consultants)鈥 focusing on our work with Bristol City Council, and 鈥楨ngineer of the Year,鈥 for Michelle Agha-Hossein – our UK Soft Landings lead. Our pioneering residential post occupancy evaluation with LLDC at Chobham Manor (which you can read about here) has also been shortlisted for Project of the Year.

The 2023 CIBSE Awards on 1st March will be a night of celebration whilst reflecting on current societal issues and systematic climate challenges. We鈥檇 like to take this opportunity again to thank CIBSE and Redactive for organising the awards for all these years, and good luck to everybody taking part.
