CIBSE | NEWS IN BRIEF CIBSE welcomes CCC report The first carbon budget for a net-zero carbon UK, as well as a routemap to deliver it at lower overall GDP costs than previously estimated has been welcomed by CIBSE. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) recommendations for the building sector align with what CIBSE has been advocating: reducing demand; energy efficiency; and the electrification, and building, of the supply chain for low carbon heat. Hydrogen cannot currently be relied on to play a significant role or reduce the need for all of these. The next steps are clear: turning this routemap into a regulatory framework for safe, healthy and comfortable net-zero carbon buildings. Register for awards virtual ceremony This year, for the first time, the CIBSE Building Performance Awards will be held virtually, on 25 February, so more people than ever will be able to attend. This years shortlist includes many international entries, with buildings from Japan, UAE, Hong Kong and Australia featuring in the five project categories. The buildings and projects demonstrate exemplary practice in engineering energy-efficient, high-performing buildings, and highlight the value in sharing knowledge globally. The awards will also include the new Covid-19 Achievement Award, with the shortlist expected to be announced this month.
