M&G Real Estate which scooped the energy management and carbon champion awards at last years ceremony hosted the event in June, when director Nina Reid gave a presentation, highlighting the firms achievements. Reid told the audience that M&G had achieved a 23% reduction in energy consumption across its shopping centre portfolio since 2010, with provisional data for 2014/15 showing the reduction was now at 32%, with a 1.8m saving in energy bills. Hywel Davies, CIBSE technical director, and chair of the awards judging panel, introduced the new categories for 2016. He has written a blog explaining the reasons for the restructure, which can be viewed at www.cibse.org/bpa Davies told attendees at the 2016 awards launch that the changes had been made to help shine a light on some of the unsung heroes of the built environment. Five new project categories replace the New Build Project and Refurbishment Project awards. They are: Project of the Year Commercial/Industrial; Leisure; Public Use; Residential; and Retail. Davies says the decision to rethink the awards was primarily driven by the diversity of last years entries, which made it extremely difficult to compare projects from radically different sectors. If you have been working on a project that you think deserves industry recognition, dont miss your chance to showcase your hard work and achievements in front of industry leaders enter the awards today.

The theme of the meeting is integration for whole life building performance: professional collaborative delivery of effective and efficient analysis, design, construction and operation of buildings. It is inspired both by discussions at the 2015 symposium, and CIBSE President Nick Meads call for the industry to pull together and put its head above the parapet by working collaboratively across the supply chain. The event is aimed at both young and experienced industry practitioners, researchers, academics and building users.

Applicants selected to go forward must submit their full reports by 30 October, and the winning entries will then be announced in December. Visit www.cibse.org/bsg for more info. Entries should be sent to CIBSE BSG secretary at competition@cibsebsg.org Final call for Young Engineers Awards The deadline is fast approaching for the Young Engineers Awards, which encompass the CIBSE ASHRAE Graduate of the Year and the Employer of the Year accolades. The Graduate of the Year Award which is 20 years old this year is open to anyone who has graduated in a building services-related discipline in the past two years. Finalists will present on a given subject at the awards ceremony at the A public consultation is under way on the draft publication Surface water source heat pumps: A Code of Practice for the UK. The document is being produced by CIBSE in association with the Ground Source Heat Pump Association (GSHPA) and the Heat Pump Association (HPA), with support from the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC). Feedback is sought from across the sector and CIBSE would be grateful for comments on the draft. The consultation closes in late July. The Code aims to raise standards in the design, implementation and operation of water source heat pumps, and covers the entire life-cyle of a project. It focuses on the use of surface water, harnessing energy from the sea, rivers, canals and lakes, and does not cover ground water, such as in mines, caverns and aquifers.

held at the Royal Academy of Engineering, Carlton House Terrace, London, on 7 May 2015. Peter Kinsella, outgoing President, chaired the meeting. Chief executive, Stephen Matthews, read the notice convening the meeting. The minutes of the 37th annual general meeting of CIBSE, held on Thursday 8 May 2014 and published in the July 2014 issue of the CIBSE Journal, were accepted as a correct record and signed by the chair. Annual report and financial statements Kinsella introduced the annual report for 2014, noting that change was constant within year,showing an increase of around 300K overall. The overall result of a 49K surplus for the year had been unexpected because of the need to accommodate costs from the implementation of the IT strategy. Additional IT costs of 90K had beenaccommodated within the figures; however, this was below expectations because of changes to the timing of the project. Costs for 2015 were expected to be significantly higher as implementation progressed, and a deficit for the year was thereforeexpected. In respect of funds carried forward, MacPherson noted that net assets were down by around 100K on the previous year. This was mostly due to the change in the pension fund valuation, which had the industry and that the work of CIBSE must keep up with it.Authoritative knowledge was needed, and he drew attention to the range of new publications produced during the year. CIBSE membership now stood at more than 21,000, with 30% of the membership spread across 100 countries other than the UK. CIBSEs guidance, therefore, needed to be relevant worldwide and it was essential for the Institution to look outside national boundaries and take a global perspective. CIBSE should encourage adoption of its guidance overseas, and seek andwelcome feedback that would improve and broaden its knowledge base over time. Kinsella referred to developments during the year, including efforts to develop a new CIBSE Region in the Middle East, and the initiation of a Governance Review that would be taken forward during the current year.He welcomed, in particular, thevisit of Stephen Matthews and Hywel Davies to Australia during his year of presidency. Kinsella thanked members for the opportunity to have held the presidency of CIBSE, and praised the continued strong performance of the Institution, with membership continuing to increase at a time when many engineering institutions were finding growth difficult. Kinsella then introduced Richard Willis, audit partner of Moore Stephens (formerly Chantrey Vellacott DFK). He read the audit report and confirmed that the accounts provideda true and fair view of the Institutions affairs, and that there were no matters that he was required to bring to the meetings attention. Stuart MacPherson presented the financial statements for 2014, drawing attention to the key issues. CIBSE Services income had increased compared with the previous year and, while investment income showed a slight decrease, income from membership and fees had also risen. Overall income had increased by around 350K. MacPherson went on to explain the turnover of the subsidiary company CIBSE Services, noting the breakdown between different activities. While total turnover had increased, Certification continued to face challenging market conditions and was slightly down on the previous year. He went on to explain the breakdown of expenditure, noting thatit was also up on the previous worsened in 2014 after a strong improvement in 2013. It was explained that this valuation was very variable, but that the pension scheme was being closely managed by scheme trustees and the finance sub-committee, and he was much more comfortable about the management of the scheme position than in previous years. special resolution MacPherson proposed adoption of the Special Resolution for membership subscriptions for 2015 as set out in the Calling Notice. This was seconded by Graham Manly and approved nem con. Auditors It was noted that Chantrey Vellacott had merged with Moore Stephens. MacPherson proposed that Moore Stephens be appointed as the Institutions auditors for 2015, and thatthe Board be empowered to agreetheir remuneration. This was seconded by Donald Leeper and approved nem con. board and council for 2015/2016 Stephen Matthews declared the following individuals elected to serve as officers, boardmembers and council members after the AGM 2015: officers: President: President-elect: Immediate past president: Vice-presidents: Hon treasurer: Nick Mead John Field George Adams Paddy Conaghan Tadj Oreszczyn Cathie Simpson Stuart MacPherson members of the board: Elected members: Janet Beckett, John Packer members of council: Elected members: Colin Ashford, Geraldine OFarrell, Mariana Trusson The Scrutineers Report setting out the results of the ballot for vicepresidents and elected board members is available in the members area of the CIBSE website at www.cibse.org/members
