BUILDING PERFORMANCE AWARDS | WINNERS Project of the Year International Winner: Mason Bros, Auckland, New Zealand Mott MacDonald Mason Bros a 1920s former warehouse beginning its second life as a key part of Aucklands Wynyard Quarter Innovation Precinct incorporates passive design features, including: exposed thermal mass; natural ventilation; large south-light glazing; and a balanced window-to-wall ratio to maximise daylight while minimising fabric heat gains. The buildings carbon emissions are 9.5 kgCO2/m2, and it benefited from an 18-month tuning and commissioning programme after practical completion. Sponsored by: CIBSE Patrons Building Performance Engineer of the Year Winner: Tom Hopton, associate, BuroHappold Engineering Hopton has worked in the building services industry for 14 years and with BuroHappold since 2015 and is a fellow of CIBSE. He has been the lead engineer for many award-winning projects with innovative design at their core from the UKs first large-scale horse-manure biomass system to the restoration of a 900-year-old building into a modern training campus. He leads the sustainability teams efforts to share and exchange knowledge among more than 500 engineers in 17 offices across 10 countries. Sponsored by: Ideal Commercial Boilers Project of the Year Residential Winner: Agar Grove Estate Regeneration: Phase 1A Max Fordham The 11.5m first phase of Camdens largest community investment project comprises 38 social-rented homes, and more than 90% of the estate residents were engaged in commenting on the proposals. The M&E design brief focused on reducing residents fuel bills, cutting carbon, and minimising maintenance requirements. A logical extension of this approach was the Passivhaus (PH) standard, using fabric-first design to reduce heat losses and to model building performance more accurately.
