Professor Halliday gained the award in recognition of her contribution to sustainability within the industry. She established Gaia Research (now Gaia Group) in 1995 to develop sustainable solutions for the built environment. It is currently involved in research, design, evaluation, dissemination, training and capacity building. Her own research covers solar air conditioning, the circular economy, zero waste, future proofed, low-allergy housing and urban design. The awards, run by Womens Engineering Society (WES) as part of International Women in Engineering Day, celebrate the outstanding contributions from women in the industry. For 2020, the awards focused on exceptional achievements in sustainability.

The Design Guides for Dubai focus on design standards for mechanical, electrical and public health services. They have been produced to be used for initial design guidance, and provide minimum design requirements for specific design issues. The three guides are: nD esign Guide for Dubai 01: Minimum design standards for mechanical services this aims to establish the minimum standards for the The Design Guides for Dubai are aimed at promoting best engineering practice design of HVAC and mechanical systems for buildings in Dubai. nD esign Guide for Dubai 02: Minimum design standards for electrical services this looks to establish the minimum standards for the design of electrical systems for buildings in Dubai. It covers design codes, standards and guidance; incoming services; electrical loads and diversity; main distribution; standby generation and distribution; uninterruptible power supplies; cabling; lighting; and earthing and bonding. nD esign Guide for Dubai 03: Minimum design standards for public health services this publication covers design codes, standards and guidance; local green building requirements; domestic cold water services, design criteria, codes and standards; water storage design criteria; domestic hot water services; water services design considerations; stormwater drainage; and liquid petroleum gas systems. The guides have been produced by the CIBSE UAE Technical Committee to promote best engineering practices in Dubai, and to assist engineers going to work there. It should be read alongside existing CIBSE guidance relevant to the region, including Buildings for Extreme Environments: Arid. T he guides are available at the CIBSE Knowledge Portal cibse.org/knowledge Overheating and airtightness papers win awards Technical papers looking at summertime overheating predictions, and the relationship between airtightness and ventilation methods, have been recognised with awards by CIBSE as the most notable papers exciting the greatest global interest published in Building Services Research and Technology (BSERT) Journal during 2019. Both papers focused on domestic dwellings for their research with one looking at the problems with modelling summertime room temperatures, and the other focused on the benefits of linking air tightness and ventilation strategies for improving energy performance and air quality. Ben M Roberts, David Allinson, Susie Diamond, Ben Abel, Claire Das Bhaumik, Narguess Khatami and Kevin J Lomas won the Carter Bronze medal for their paper Predictions of summertime overheating: comparison of dynamic thermal models and measurements in synthetically occupied test houses. The Napier Shaw Bronze medal was awarded to Jenny Crawley, Jez Wingfield and Cliff Elwell for their paper The relationship between airtightness and ventilation in new UK dwellings. Both papers are currently available to view: the Carter Bronze medal paper can be read at bit.ly/2ZpisYY and the Napier Shaw Bronze medal paper can be viewed at bit.ly/CJAug20CNews2 CIBSE members can read the BSERT Journal and Lighting Research and Technology (LR&T) Journal as part of their membership at cibse.org/knowledge 12 August 2020 www.cibsejournal.com CIBSE Aug 2020 p12-13 CIBSE News.indd 12 24/07/2020 15:30
