CIBSE NEWS Members recognised for services to Institution at Presidents Dinner Accolades for the past two years were presented in honour of volunteers outstanding work for CIBSE Eleven CIBSE members were honoured with Gold and Silver medals at the Presidents Awards dinner in February. The accolades are presented in recognition of outstanding service by volunteers delivering CIBSEs objectives of serving society and benefiting the public. Each year, CIBSE presents Gold, Silver or Bronze Medals to individuals who have made a significant contribution to its work. However, they were not able to be presented for the past two years due to the pandemic. Gold Medals, the highest accolade awarded by CIBSE, were presented to: Phil Jones, Bryan Franklin, David Wood, David Hughes, Stephen Lisk, Mike Simpson and George Adams, who was not able to attend, but who will be presented with his medal at the Presidents Awards dinner in October. (See Gold medal winners, opposite.) Silver Medals were awarded to members who have made exceptional contributions to the industry and to CIBSE through their work and time volunteering, helping to improve our Institution and foster the next generation. We thank each of them: Isaac Coker, Roger Edwards, John Forster, Tony Lamberti and Andrew Rowe. Other awards presented on the night include the 2021 CIBSE Undergraduate Award, which went to Khushbu Mankani, who studied at Heriot-Watt University in Dubai. She won it for her final-year project, Optimisation of an air-cooled heat sink for passive cooling of a photovoltaic panel: A computational study. The award recognises excellent understanding, application and analysis of building services engineering, science and design, as well as originality and high-quality visual information. Mankani was unable to make the ceremony, but will be presented with her accolade at the UAE annual awards later this year.
