Susie and Claire are heading to Plymouth for the RAEng / IBPSA-England Symposium on ‘Bridging the Energy Performance Gap’ on October 25th. The program looks good and it will be a nice excuse to catch up with our building physics friends! http://www.ibpsa-england.org/news/raeng-ibpsa-england-symposium-bridging-the-energy-performance-gap
Following this weeks launch of the new CIBSE TM54, Inkling are keen to start offering this sensible methodology for predicting the operational energy performance of buildings. Contact us for details.
The Question Time style event took place on 12th September and was wide ranging with a line-up of short presentations on Tradeable Energy Quotas, Community Energy, Consumer Engagement and Smart Meters preceding the audience’s enquiries.

More press about the Rising Star Awards 2013 this morning in Building magazine!
UK Green Building Council + PRP Architects conceived the Rising Star Award in memory of Mel Starrs, a prominent built environment practitioner and PRP employee who sadly and suddenly passed away in July 2012. The inaugural Rising Star award is to highlight the work of a built environment professional who has made a real difference
