Last week, we toasted the release of "Retrofit Revisit: 10 Case Studies". Co-authors Marion Baeli, Principal of Sustainability Transformation at 10 Design and Julie Godefroy, Head of Net Zero Policy at CIBSE, shared their groundbreaking research, offering valuable insights into Building Performance Evaluation to inform the future of retrofitting. This remarkable collaborative effort involved a dedicated team of evaluators and a supportive steering committee. "Retrofit Revisit," supported by Innovate UK, UK Research and Innovation, Historic England and Studio PDP, delves into the performance of 10 unique housing projects a decade after implementing deep retrofit measures.

The Worshipful Company of Fan Makers present a CIBSE Bursary every year to the young engineer they believe has the potential to make a significant difference to our industry and in wider society in the future. Edythe Qua is on an apprenticeship programme and has just finished her first-year degree at LSBU following some excellent A level results in Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Peter Anderson, who leads the Bursary programme for the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers, said that she was awarded the Fan Makers / CIBSE Bursary as she showed exceptional ambition and drive through self-motivation build around an interest in building modelling and performance. Edythe is pictured with Peter Anderson (CIBSE Council Member and Managing Partner at Troup Bywaters + Anders), Dr Shazia Ali (Senior Lecturer in Energy and Building Services at LSBU) and CIBSE Chief Executive, Ruth Carter.

CIBSE and Salford University are recruiting a fully-funded PhD student to research how Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) planning, and placement can be optimised to minimise noise impact on communities. The outputs of the proposed research will contribute to alleviating the noise concerns around ASHPs, and increase their acceptance as a suitable renewable energy option for heating and cooling applications in the UK.
