CIBSE | NEWS Ken Dale bursary open for entries The Ken Dale Travel Bursary offers building services engineers in the developmental stage of their career the chance to win up to 4,000 to travel the world and research how different conditions impact the built environment. The winner will have the opportunity to spend three to four weeks outside their own country to research an aspect connected to their field of work, which will benefit CIBSE, their employer and the profession. Applications for the 2022 award are now open, and the deadline is Friday 15 April. For details on how to apply, visit bit.ly/CJMar22KenDale Symposium focus is building performance Delivering a safe, healthy and sustainable built environment will be the focus of the CIBSE Technical Symposium 2022. Taking place on 21 and 22 April, at London South Bank University, the in-person event will look at the latest research and thinking around ensuring our buildings perform. It will feature peer-reviewed presentations and posters, and bring together practitioners and academics who are applying and researching the latest thinking in building services engineering. Presentations will outline policy, guidance and practice, showing how engineers can deliver safe, more healthy and sustainable buildings. This years topics include: development of zero carbon building standards; embodied and operational carbon; and the challenge of refurbishing buildings.

The hybrid conference, titled LEV Extracting the best practices, will offer inperson attendance at The Studio Leeds, and a virtual attendance option. It is for those with an active involvement in the LEV industry, including system design, installation, commissioning, thorough examination and testing (TExT), servicing, maintenance work, or all the above. The theme is Design for control, and presentations will cover: different dust filter units; a design case study; design elements from the ACGIH manual; drawing standards; and TExT schematics. There will also be an update from the Health and Safety Executive. ILEVE will discuss stack design, women in the LEV profession, and clearance time testing methods, and there will be a quiz for participants to vote in and reveal differences in opinion. The institute said: We need to build a stronger relationship between those focusing on the broad field of occupational hygiene and those focusing on LEV. We need to install, commission, examine, test, maintain and assess together.

The conference has the theme Water: meeting the challenges of building designs for the future. The event will be a chance to hear experts and advisers speak on regulatory and planning guidance. Industry pioneers will also talk about inventive public health engineering solutions being developed to support sustainability and meet the challenges presented by climate change. The day will include four sessions, with the latest on water and energy efficiency as critical aspects of mitigating climate change, impacting society and the economy. A full programme will be available shortly.
