Mechanical engineer at Buro Happold Engineering William Holley has been awarded the 2024 Ken Dale Travel Bursary for his proposal ‘The transition to low carbon heat – a holistic investigation into the integration of heat pump technology into the built environment’.
Holley plans to travel to Germany, Finland, China and Japan to develop comprehensive case studies to help provide a deeper understanding of how to integrate heat pumps into projects effectively.
Holley said: ‘I’m really looking forward to exploring my topic. My goal is to present design guidance and cutting-edge case studies from around the world.’
The Ken Dale Travel Bursary makes awards of up to £4,000 to CIBSE Members in the developmental stage of their career who wish to spend three to four weeks outside their own country researching aspects connected to their work.
Candidates are shortlisted based on their proposals, and final selections are made after presentations by shortlisted candidates during the interview stage.
