CIBSE have recently published TM57 Integrated School Design. This document covers various design aspects for schools such as thermal comfort, acoustics, daylighting, air quality and ventilation. It states: “Teaching and learning spaces pose a great challenge to designers and engineers as the environmental needs are more complex than with most rooms. The challenge […]
At Inkling both Susie and Claire made contributions to the organising of the CIBSE Technical Symposium 2015. We were keen to attend the two-day event event at UCL, and have taken this opportunity to write up and share our experience of it. Sergio Fox (Architecture without Engineers) opened the event with an interesting and entertaining
Susie features on the CIBSE blog: ‘A day in the life of a Building Performance Awards Judge‘ – http://www.cibseblog.co.uk/2014/09/day-in-life-of-building-performance.html The Awards shortlist has been announced and can be viewed here: http://www.cibse.org/Building-Performance-Awards/Awards-Shortlist The awards dinner takes place on 10th February 2015 when the winners will be announced.
Claire has written an article for the Oct 2014 CIBSE Journal on our experience of using TM54. http://portfolio.cpl.co.uk/CIBSE/201410/energy-performance-tm54-review/ CIBSE TM54: Evaluating Operational Energy Performance of Buildings at the Design Stage (2013) was designed to close the performance gap by enabling more accurate modelling of building performance, but how effective is it in the field?
Claire Das Bhaumik is proud to be a CIBSE Fellow (‘FCIBSE’). Fellowship is the most senior grade of CIBSE membership. The work of an FCIBSE is characterised by the ability to develop appropriate solutions to engineering problems using new or existing technologies, through innovation, creativity and change. Claire is a Chartered Engineer and
The “Performance Gap” – the difference between design predictions and operational energy use – is a serious issue for our industry. The CarbonBuzz web site shows that many buildings consume between 1.5 and 2.5 times the predicted design energy. In order to address this, the industry needs both better energy-use predictions and a greater
Susie has been confirmed as a member of the judging panel for the CIBSE Building Performance awards 2015. This will be the 3rd year running that she has been a judge. The launch event for the awards takes place at M&S on the 18th June. More info here: http://www.cibse.org/bpalaunch More information about the awards and how
Claire is to present research at the CIBSE ASHRAE Technical symposium 2014 in Dublin next month on ‘A comparison of the CIBSE Guide A and TM52 overheating criteria for a range of building types’ The aim of the research was to investigate how the same building performs with different compliance criteria. Three different building
Claire is a long-standing technical peer reviewer for CIBSE (The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) and has recently reviewed CIBSE’s updated Applications Manual 11 on Building Performance Modelling. This update is a complete revision of the previously published Manual AM11 and covers topics such as – thermal and energy modelling – ventilation modelling
For the second year running Susie was asked to be a judge for the CIBSE Building Performance awards. The judging took place in November, but the winners won’t be announced until the awards ceremony in February. “I really enjoyed the judging process – it’s a privileged to be asked and to review such a range
Claire wrote this piece introducing WiBSE (Women in Building Services Engineering) for the CIBSE YEN North-East newsletter. More about WiBSE can be found here.
Claire is presenting a poster at the CIBSE ASHRAE Technical Symposium at the Dublin Institute of Technology on the 3rd and 4th of April 2014.
