Susie attended the annual GHA conference on 28th January 2026 at the British Library. It was a really interesting day with a clear focus on the people who will live their lives within the homes we design. Here are the key notes that she came away with.

We shared the questions we blogged about on ‘CIBSE weather data 2025 – have we lost sight of urban heat islands?’ with CIBSE for their feedback and here is their full response

We explore some concerns about the new CIBSE weather datasets in how well they represent city centre locations in the context of urban heat island effect (UHI).

The concepts of infiltration and air tightness in buildings are well recognised, but not necessarily accurately accounted for in dynamic thermal models.

Susie was excited to be invited to visit the Energy House 2.0 facility at the University of Salford.

Susie gets the opportunity to visit the very beautiful and RIBA award-winning Cambridge Central Mosque, which was completed in 2019.

A warning about centre-pane vs whole window g-values – make sure you know which are being specified on your projects.

This blog post is a hymn to collaboration.
Late last year Inkling were delighted to be invited to collaborate with four other consultancies on a piece of work commissioned by a consortium of 18 London Boroughs.

This year’s technical symposium took place at Strathclyde University, Glasgow last week (20-21st April). Claire and I both made the journey up from London as it’s our favourite CIBSE event of the year.

Automation opens up huge potential to make modelling software work harder so that I can focus my attention on the tasks that need a human brain – getting the initial model creation right, and interpreting the results.

We wanted to put our heads together and give advice on what we think are the trickiest and/or most confusing parts of the analysis as we think it’s imperative that we are all approaching these assessments consistently.
