CIBSE NEWS CIBSE ANZ celebrates new talent Competition showcases the importance of faades in modern architecture Nine students and young engineer finalists from across Australia and New ealand gathered for the CIBSE Australia and New ealand AN Young Engineers Awards, in September. The awards, held at the Melbourne Museum, celebrated the rising talent across the region and were attended by more than 0 building services industry professionals. Entries were received from 12 consultancies and three universities across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, ueensland, Christchurch and Auckland. The young engineers and graduates were judged on their contribution to the industry, and their video submissions on what they believe to be the most novel, scalable and implementable ideas which could be applied to building services to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Student of the Year award was presented to Mitchell Peatman, studying for a Bachelor of Engineering Electrical New lighting guide for healthcare premises A new edition of Lighting Guide LG2: Lighting for healthcare premises has just been published by the Society of Light and Lighting (SLL). The new edition, which replaces the 2008 edition, has been produced to ensure that guidance is up-to-date with modern lighting practice and to illustrate varying ways of lighting the modern hospital environment. The key objective of the guide is to define the quantity and quality of light. Good design principles should always be followed with the priority given to daylight and complemented with electric lighting. Although there has been an increased interest in lighting for health and productivity, this edition does not detail or focus on these. While the SLL acknowledges the importance of the non-visual effect of light on health and wellbeing, it warns that research in this area is still limited and any beneficial effects of changing colour or light level during the day is yet to be unequivocally demonstrated. LG2 will be available on the CIBSE Knowledge Portal for members to download for free at www.cibse.org/knowledge Left to right: Mitchell Peatman, Tommy Sailing and Aaron Hoare at University of Wollongong, and Northrop Consulting Engineers. In his submission, Mitchell spoke of our responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions holistically. The CIBSE AN Graduate of the Year was named as Aaron Hoare, sustainability consultant at WSP. Aaron demonstrated strong service to the industry, displayed enthusiasm for his work and presented clear bottom up and top down implementable sustainable ideas. The Young Engineer of the Year title was awarded to Tommy Sailing, electrical engineer at Northrop Consulting Engineers. The judges felt Tommy demonstrated original thought, presenting a solution over the life of a building. In line with the sustainability theme, the winners each received a bamboo trophy and framed certificate, as well as Aus 1,000, courtesy of sponsors Aecom, Northrop Consulting Engineers and V S Group. The Young Engineers Awards are vital in helping CIBSE engage with students and young building services engineers seeking to make an impact in the industry and encourages them to become future leaders. CIBSE President, Lynne Jack, speaking at the event, implored young engineers in the region to take advantage of all the opportunities that CIBSE offers, and welcomed a dialogue with members on how CIBSE supports its regions. Thanks to event partners Acor, Arup, Aurecon, Conex Banninger, Constructive Recruitment, Daikin, Norman Disney & Young and Wood & Grieve Engineers, and sponsors.

Raphael, who was the CIBSE Graduate of the Year in 2017, won for his research on designing for gender equality. His research aims to optimise key resources including human, time and Raphael Amajuoyi financial to explore this in the design of commercial offices across the globe, to understand the current scope of research on female occupancy thermal comfort in the professional workplace. This will be based on a comprehensive review of published literature factoring in key variables including office building types, weather and climatic conditions, as well as cultural influences. Raphael plans to travel to San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro and Doha for his research, and will also conduct research in London The judges said Raphael impressed with his confident presentation, which stood apart from the other submissions and challenged design norms. Judges said his subject matter, quality bid and presentation gave him the lead over the other entrants. n his return Raphael will have to present a ,000-10,000 word report to the CIBSE board. The annual en Dale Travel Bursary offers between 1, 00 and ,000 to CIBSE members, in the developmental stage of their career, who wish to spend three to four weeks abroad researching aspects connected to their field of work. 12 October 2019 www.cibsejournal.com CIBSE Oct19 pp12-14 CIBSE News.indd 12 20/09/2019 15:37
