CIBSE NEWS Young Lighter 2019 shortlist announced LIGHT GRAFFITI MAKES MARK IN LONDON The shortlist for the Society of Light and Lighting (SLL) Young Lighter of the Year 2019 award has been announced. Representing the best new talent in the industry, the list includes eight young lighters, who make up a very international group, coming from Stockholm, Germany, Estonia and the UK. They were selected by a panel of judges from across the lighting industry, representing design, academia, sales and manufacturing. The shortlist is: The Society of Light and Lighting welcomed back artist and photographer Michael Bosanko for a Light Graffiti night at the London Art House in June. The night began with a talk from Bosanko, who displayed examples of his work and took guests through the process and inspiration behind them. He then gave demonstrations, before handing over to the audience to have a go at creating their own art. Bosanko discovered light painting while on holiday in Greece. After accidentally knocking his tripod, he captured a trail of light from the moon thatinspired him to experiment with writing in light. On his returnhome, he adopted the same technique using torches.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the competition, which offers a unique platform for young lighters to illustrate their knowledge and research, hone their presentation skills, and raise their profile within the industry. Research into IAQ and retrofit win CIBSE Medals Carter and Napier Shaw Bronze Medals awarded for best papers in BSER&T Technical papers looking at indoor air quality and the implications for retrofitting and ventilating buildings have been recognised by CIBSE as the best papers published in Building Services Engineering Research and Technology (BSER&T) journal in 2018. One paper examines different ventilation strategies for retrofitting buildings to ensure safe levels of indoor air quality, and their effectiveness, while the other looks at CO2 and the effect that exposure to high levels can have on human cognitive performance. Yiyi Chu, Peng Xu, Zhiwei Yang, Weilin Liwon the Carter Bronze Medal for their paper Retrofitting existing buildings to control indoor PM2.5 concentrations on smog days: initial experience of residential buildings inChina. It starts with an overview of the growing worldwide attention and increasing evidence of the relationship between air pollution and adverse health effects including on the development of lung function in children. The paper considers the effectiveness of retrofitting methods to control indoor particulate matter in existing buildings, using a case study from Shanghai. Methods used include airtightness improvement, indoor positive pressure control with a fresh air system, and an air purifier. The Napier Shaw Bronze Medal was awarded to Gesche M Huebner, Tadj Oreszczyn and Robert J Lowe for their paper Possible future impacts of elevated levels of atmospheric CO2 on human cognitive performance and on the design and operation of ventilation systems in buildings. Their research looks at predicted increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration by the end of the 21st century and the possible effects on human performance, before examining the implications this has for the engineering of ventilation systems and associated energy use. The paper highlights the very limited research done on the effect of higher levels of CO2 on cognitive performance, as opposed to air quality in general, and the need for further study in this area. The Carter and Napier Shaw Bronze Medals are awarded annually by CIBSE to celebrate high-quality research in the building services industry. They will be presented at the Presidents Dinner in October.
