CIBSE NEWS In conversation with leading lighting figures The Society of Light and Lighting (SLL), in association with Signify, has launched an online series of conversations with leading lighting figures. It includes prominent people in the sector, engaged in conversations about their journey in lighting, their specialisms, and the key issues that are driving change and innovation. This series features Dr Ruth Kelly Waskett FSLL, president of the SLL and senior associate at Hoare Lea, and Florence Lam FSLL, global lighting design director for Arup, discussing light, health and humanity-centric lighting. Andrew Bissell FSLL, presidentelect of the society and director of lighting design for Cundall, and leading research scientist Dr Christopher Kyba discuss their ongoing work to produce more robust guidance for the protection of dark skies and research into the causes and effects of skyglow. The aim of the series is to engage the lighting community and beyond in discussion about the work and challenges that face the industry. It will showcase some of the excellent people, initiatives, research and innovative approaches that are informing the direction of change, in the face of political, economic and environmental uncertainty. You can watch live and participate in a Q&A, or catch up on demand.

Virtual tour of childrens hospital aims to inspire young engineers CIBSE, together with Jones Engineering and Arup, have produced an inspiring virtual technical tour of the new National Childrens Hospital, Ireland. The tour of the hospital which is the largest and most complex capital investment project ever undertaken in healthcare in Ireland has been produced for the CIBSE Young Engineers Network, and demonstrates what would be a standout project in the career of any engineer. It focuses on the now complete utilities tunnel, and gives an unprecedented insight into the entire process, from initial concept design, through tender stage and construction, to The aim of the video is to share new and innovative approaches to design and knowledge exchange, and to encourage more people within and outside the industry to investigate the many appealing aspects of engineering.
