The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) has unveiled the shortlisted buildings in the Building Performance Awards (BPA) 2018
Now in their eleventh year, the CIBSE Building Performance Awards recognises the teams, products, innovations, initiatives and projects that demonstrate engineering excellence in the built environment. And they are the only industry awards that focus on actual, measured performance, rather than design intent or performance specifications.
This year also introduces a new Learning and Development category to the awards, attracting a varied and interesting range of entries, illustrating the thirst for learning in the sector.
That was not the only category to spark lively debate between the judges on the 15-strong panel, chaired by Hywel Davies, a veteran of the process. He noted that the discussions were “some of the most lively and vigorous” he had seen during the judging process.
With a wide range of high quality entries, the shortlisting decisions were reached only after considerable debate and careful scrutiny of the entries, and Davies said that “all those on the shortlist have demonstrated a significant contribution”.
All of which means that the competition for the Building Performance Awards is wide open in 2018 and the results will be anticipated before their announcement at the Awards dinner event on 6 February 2018 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
