CIBSE NEWS Entries now open for CIBSE Building Simulation Awards Nominations are now being taken for the 2023 CIBSE Building Simulation Awards, which are presented by the CIBSE Building Simulation Group and will be showcased at Build2Perform Live on 5 December. There are two accolades up for grabs: the Building Simulation Award and the Building Simulation Young Modeller Award. The former focuses on the use of building simulation in projects, and aims to encourage innovation in building simulation techniques. The Young Modeller Award recognises the outstanding contributions of young engineers, apprentices and sustainability consultants working with building performance simulation. Each entry will be reviewed by a panel of experts, and the finalists will present their projects in front of an audience and judging panel at Build2Perform. The deadline for submissions is 27 October.

Brian was a generous, amusing, inspiring person to know, and well respected in the industry. He was also a loving family man. Brian was a CIBSE interviewer from 2003-18 and sat on the M&R Panel for almost 10 years. He was a great mentor and helped many to develop their professional interviewing skills. After finally retiring completely, he threw himself into beekeeping and ink line drawing, at which he was exceptionally skilled, producing the most wonderful drawings. When Brian was awarded his CIBSE Silver Medal in 2018, he did not want a formal presentation, so it was presented to him in a local pub. He will be missed greatly and his humour and contribution to CIBSE will be remembered. 12 October 2023 www.cibsejournal.com CIBSE ANZ boosts ties to construction industry Region signs agreement with Chartered Institute of Building CIBSEs Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) Region strengthened its ties with the construction industry by signing a memorandum of understanding with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) in August. A visit to the region of CIOB chief executive Caroline Gumble was an ideal opportunity to reinforce the institutions commitment to promoting awareness of CIOB CEO Caroline Gumble and CIBSE ANZ chair Phil Senn key issues in the built environment locally, advancing knowledge of best practice among members, and working together to do so where possible. The agreement was signed at the CIOB Property Economic Update breakfast in Sydney. CIBSE ANZ chair Phil Senn feels strongly about taking a collaborative approach to tackle reform and promote competence. The building sector requires strong collaboration between design and construction professionals to deliver sustainable, scalable solutions for the built environment, he said. By formalising a partnership between CIOB and CIBSE ANZ, we will improve access to shared knowledge, and work together to solve numerous challenges the largest of which is how we transition the built environment toward net zero emissions across construction and operation, incorporating circular economy thinking. CIBSE ANZ is looking forward to delivering many joint events with the CIOB in the coming months and years.

The second edition of LG14: Control of electric lighting, originally published in 2016, sets out a logical approach for the professional designer to consider the consultation, design, specification, commissioning and handover of a lighting installation incorporating controls. The guide has been updated to inform what is meant by controls for electric light relative to project specification and design in the 21st century. It covers internal and external electric lighting control, but does not cover solar blind and shutter control, or theatre and advertising electric lighting control. Luminaire technology, energy efficiency legislation and rising energy costs are common drivers for incorporating lighting controls into a project. This means they are increasingly becoming essential, rather than an optional extra or nice to have. Lighting controls are now an integral part of all lighting installations. LG14 guides the designer through the processes required to make informed decisions about how and why to add lighting controls to a lighting design, said author Sophie Parry, of Trilux, who is Technical & Publications chair for the SLL. Case studies were contributed by the late David Holmes and Simon Robinson, WSP Consulting. T o access a copy of LG14: Control of electric lighting, go to: bit.ly/CEL23CIBSE
