## **President’s message**
2021 saw CIBSE play an essential role in ensuring the world stays safe from Coronavirus and protects lives. Our work and the work of our members was pivotal in providing guidance to help reduce the risks of contamination, across the globe, and saw in excess of 50,000 downloads in 2021. The central role that we and our community played in the pandemic highlights the essential work undertaken to ensure our buildings are safe, comfortable, healthy and fit for purpose, whilst also being sustainable. The commitment seen from our members and volunteers is only matched by their passion, resilience and drive to improve the built environment and make our buildings safe and improve their performance.
We work in a dynamic, fast evolving and forward‐looking industry that relies on the talent, knowledge and expertise of its people. As CIBSE looks ahead, its focus is on ensuring that it engages with and attracts talent into our industry from all sections of society, so that the challenges facing our built environment can be addressed by the brightest and best. We must be inclusive in our outlook, recognising and addressing the needs of minority groups, so that we can ensure we attract a diverse pool of talent to our industry to help address the ever‐increasing challenges ahead. CIBSE is already helping to foster talent through the enthusiastic and dedicated Young Engineers Network (YEN), as well as its many Special Interest Groups, Regions, Societies and Divisions.
CIBSE welcomed Ruth Carter as our new Chief Executive Officer in 2021, taking over from Stephen Matthews, who retired after 15 successful years in the role. Bringing with her extensive experience in managing complex organisations, together with a passion and enthusiasm for driving CIBSE forward, Ruth is intent on ensuring CIBSE is a modern, exemplar, inclusive, professional engineering institution that can lead the response of the building services community to the challenges of building safety and climate change and react to a changing environment. She recognises the strength of the Institution and value in honouring the past while looking to the future.
During 2021, CIBSE delivered a range of activities to advance and disseminate knowledge in the key areas of building safety, building performance, and net zero.
## **Building safety**
Building safety remains a critical challenge for the industry in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire. The Building Safety Bill, updates to Part L (Conservation of fuel and power), Part F (Ventilation) of the Building Regulations and the new Regulations covering Overheating and Electric Vehicle Charging are an ongoing focus for CIBSE’s work. The adoption of Part O is the culmination of over a decade of work by CIBSE to advance the public safety case for the building regulations to address overheating risk in new homes. CIBSE has continued to submit formal responses to consultations and to support reform through the draft Building Regulations, the Building Safety Programme and energy policy, working with government and industry and drawing on the views and expertise of its members.
Throughout the pandemic, CIBSE has also supported Government and industry efforts to promote a safer built environment by publishing guidance on ventilation. It has updated both its ventilation guidance and its air cleaning products guidance to reflect latest thinking.

**ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **President’s message (continued)**
Ensuring that buildings are safe, healthy places for people to live and work is central to the purpose of all of us as engineers. It is imperative that we all prepare for the new Building Safety regime and in particular with the building safety competence and dutyholder requirements.
## **Building performance**
CIBSE’s Building Performance Awards took place online in February, showcasing the breadth of industry achievement and demonstrating innovative approaches to improving building performance. Award winners such as Cundall’s productivity mapping tool for workplace design, which won Product or Innovation of the Year – Wellbeing, showed the value building services engineers can potentially deliver. Arup, Max Fordham, and Buro Happold all set the bar high in terms of what could be achieved with exceptional engineering with their wins in the Project of the Year categories. In an unprecedented year, Buro Happold particularly stood out, winning awards for Learning and Development, Consultancy of the Year, Project of the Year ‐ Public Use, as well as taking the overall Building Performance Champion Award and being recognised with a special COVID‐19 Achievement Award. Truly inspirational engineering from everyone involved at all these companies.
The CIBSE Young Engineers Awards play a central role in promoting new talent in our industry and continue to go from strength to strength. The Apprentice of the Year Award, in its second year, was extended from a single award to two categories ‐ for Technician and for Degree apprentices ‐ allowing even greater recognition for this key route into our industry and its rising stars. These awards are helping to ensure we have the talented, qualified engineers to drive building performance in the future.
Industry understanding of building performance is being promoted through CIBSE’s guidance and the research published in its technical journals: Building Services Engineering Research & Technology (BSER&T) and Lighting Research and Technology Journal (LR&T). Volunteer authors and reviewers deserve our thanks for sharing their knowledge and expertise for the benefit of all within these cutting‐edge research publications.
Another important forum for information exchange is the CIBSE Technical Symposium, which brought together more than 60 speakers in its two‐day online event in July. Here, speakers shared high‐quality technical research on numerous aspects of building performance, including indoor air quality and smart technology.
## **Net zero**
Building services engineers are working to overcome challenges in delivering on net‐zero carbon ambitions for the built environment as demonstrated by the CIBSE Building Performance Project of the Year – Commercial/Industrial award winner, the Amorepacific HQ in Seoul, South Korea. The client asked Arup to create an exemplar for low energy and sustainability. The design solution achieved this while also enhancing occupant comfort and wellbeing, demonstrating how energy efficient and net zero buildings can be created without compromising the environment for building users.

**ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **President’s message (continued)**
The awards also featured a retrofit category, won by the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Retrofit Pilot Project – GRFN. This category is one of a number of ways CIBSE is working to promote an increased focus on retrofitting existing buildings, as is its support for the development of policies to improve their performance and reduce their emissions.
The transition to net zero requires us all to take action and over the year CIBSE updated its Climate Action Plan, setting out its own commitments as a professional body to address climate change. CIBSE also played an instrumental role in the development of the Construction Industry Council’s (CIC) Carbon Zero climate action plan for all the professional institutions working in the built environment.
For the broader industry, the new CIBSE guidance in _TM65: Embodied carbon in building services, a calculation methodology_ , which was published in January, provides an important tool for reducing the embodied carbon in buildings.
Over the year CIBSE delivered an extensive programme spanning events, training, network activities and new guidance, as well as consultation responses and engagements with government and industry. In all these endeavours, CIBSE relied on the efforts of its volunteers, members and colleagues, and I thank everyone for their contribution. CIBSE staff also deserve recognition for their outstanding performance in a very challenging year. Most of all I would like to thank the members at large for their incredible contribution to the industry and CIBSE in what has been historically challenging circumstances.
2022 will be a milestone year for CIBSE as it celebrates its 125[th] anniversary. The celebration gives an opportunity to both applaud the Institution’s progress and shine a spotlight on the valuable work done by building services engineers to help shape a safer and more sustainable built environment. CIBSE will continue to innovate and improve in the delivery of activities in an inclusive way. As it continues this vital work, the guiding principle will remain to deliver public benefit and to support the members, communities and wider industry so that we can all deliver a built environment that is fit for the future.

## **Our Values**
## **We lead**
CIBSE is at the forefront of re‐engineering the built environment for a changing climate.
Building services are key to keeping building users as safe and comfortable as possible, promoting occupant health and wellbeing, minimising the impact of buildings on the environment during construction and use, and driving improved performance and productivity
CIBSE leads the way in promoting improvement in the performance of buildings to the benefit of users, developers and owners and as a natural consequence of what we do day‐to‐day.
Our involvement in government level discussions and consultations makes us a strong champion for better standards and enforcement, driving buildings that are safe and fit for purpose.
## **We Empower**
CIBSE empowers both our members and those who own, operate and occupy buildings through the sharing and dissemination of knowledge and training. We enable people to access the skills and knowledge they require to fulfil their potential, demonstrate their competence and serve society.
Knowledge sharing is one of CIBSE’s primary roles in the built environment. Working with the industry and its clients, CIBSE serves wider society by developing and publishing internationally recognised guidance and codes.
This knowledge provides authoritative guidance for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of engineering services in buildings. It enables engineers to keep up to date with best practice in technology and standards and supports the implementation of policies to improve safety, comfort and productivity of buildings and reduce their carbon emissions.
In an industry that is seeing increasingly complex and changing technology, CIBSE enables building services engineers to keep abreast of the changes and empowers them to deliver the best outcomes for clients and end users. By improving their skills and knowledge and demonstrating their competence, building services engineers can help everyone live and work in safer, healthier and more comfortable spaces.
## **We Champion**
CIBSE supports and champions the diversity, breadth and strength of its membership. Membership is a mark of professional development and, through its corporate grades of membership and route to registration, CIBSE accredits competence, which can be widely and reliably recognised.

**ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **Our Values (continued)**
## **We Champion (continued)**
CIBSE champions the skills and experience of our members, raising their profile and giving prominence to the best engineers who value good building performance and building safety and are committed to net zero.
CIBSE relies on its members to help generate standards and knowledge in a variety of building services specialisms for the benefit of industry and the public, both in the UK and internationally. Diversity of CIBSE's membership is central to achieving these goaIs. CIBSE delivers the greatest benefit to society when its knowledge is drawn from the full spectrum of people and disciplines which form its membership.
## **We Inspire**
We inspire our community and wider society to strive for better and safer building performance.
Our monthly _CIBSE Journal_ , the annual Building Performance Awards, Technical Symposium and Build2Perform Live, all serve to raise wider public awareness of what we do and the importance of building services engineering to society. In addition, our Groups and Societies run hundreds of smaller events during the year, and together these many and varied activities maximise the impact of the work CIBSE does and demonstrate the breadth, scope and impact of building services engineering in its broadest sense, to a highly diverse and worldwide audience.
Raising awareness helps people appreciate the benefits of supporting building services engineers in their careers and work to improve building performance.
Demonstrating the importance of building safety, good building performance and the link with good building services engineering, reinforces the message that the effective operation of the built environment is crucial to many areas of public life.
Our Building Performance Awards and Young Engineers Awards exemplify what can be achieved by the expertise and talent across the industry, inspire others and encourage innovation.
Inspiring others to join our community and choose engineering as a career is essential if we are to meet our environmental targets and net zero goals and successfully respond to climate change. We encourage committed people from every background. Through the work of our Inclusivity Panel and our commitment to diversity, we aim to attract as broad a range of new engineers as possible.

**THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS**
**ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **We Lead**
A primary purpose for CIBSE is to be a leading provider of authoritative guidance on the principles of building safety and performance, enabling engineers to keep up to date with the very latest guidance in meeting their clients’ requirements and complying with regulations relating to engineering competence.
Under our Royal Charter we support ‘the Science, Art and Practice of building services engineering by providing the public and our members with first class information and education services.’
The demands of the pandemic created a very fast‐changing environment, requiring digital delivery and creation of knowledge and guidance, as well as a move online for all our training and knowledge‐ based events.
The growing pace of technical and regulatory change in response to climate change is driving rapid development and the updating of CIBSE guidance to support the decarbonisation of the built environment.
With the regulatory changes under way in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, we are also closely involved in the development of the new regime, particularly relating to the competence of engineers and the adoption of better information management processes in the industry.
We continue to seek to improve our online activities and the user experience across all facets of CIBSE membership, professional networking, training and knowledge generation activity, as well as our publishing and knowledge delivery.
## **COVID‐19**
CIBSE’s ongoing response to the COVID‐19 crisis was highlighted in our work with the Royal Academy of Engineering for the Chief Scientific Adviser on delivering infection resilient environments. We have continued to update our guidance on ventilation in buildings and on the wider considerations required to reopen buildings after a period of closure.
The ventilation guidance is now in its fifth edition and we have added guidance on the considerations applicable to the use of air cleaners.
We have continued to contribute to government advisory groups and give evidence to government and devolved administrations on the role of ventilation and the importance of competent building management in keeping buildings operating in a safe and healthy manner.
## **Building safety**
The Building Safety Bill is now progressing through parliament. It sets the stage for the most fundamental reform of the legislation relating to the construction and operation of buildings in England for at least two generations and will undoubtedly lead to changes in the rest of the UK as the devolved administrations also seek to improve building safety in their own jurisdictions.

**THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS**
**ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **We Lead (continued)**
## **Building Safety (continued)**
CIBSE is actively communicating the scale of the changes that government is looking to drive through this legislation. We continue to work closely with other engineering institutions and with the Engineering Council in relation to engineering competence requirements.
The Bill is supported by a range of further legislation and a number of sets of draft regulations have been published. In particular, the new requirements for dutyholders will apply to all building work that requires notification in any way to a building control body and will place a duty to demonstrate competence on all those appointed to work on building projects
CIBSE is closely involved in the development of this new competency regime, as well as contributing to the more detailed discussions around the stricter regime that will apply to higher risk buildings.
CIBSE is also closely involved in the development of the ‘Golden Thread’, which is the mechanism for managing the information required to give the right people the right information at the right time to keep buildings safe.
We are also actively contributing to the development of information management standards that will support the Golden Thread and enable better working practices across the wider industry.
We continue to cover the industry change agenda through _CIBSE Journal_ , on our website and through regular events.
The Building Safety Bill will create a new national Building Safety Regulator (BSR), who will oversee all aspects of building regulation and also regulate the building control profession. The Bill amends significant elements of the Building Act 1984. The Bill also creates a new regime for the statutory management and regulation of the safety of all occupied high rise residential buildings*, covering the design, construction and operation of all new and existing buildings in scope.
We are actively engaged with government in the development of the new regime and the measures that will enable it to operate. We contribute to the work of the Construction Leadership Council on Building Safety, which seeks to co‐ordinate the industry response to the Bill.
## **Professional competence**
The Bill brings radical change for the building control profession, with statutory registration to protect the public interest and drive further improvements in building control competence. All those who work on high rise residential buildings, in whatever capacity, will be required to demonstrate and maintain competence, with new statutory roles and responsibilities and statutory safety cases to support regular safety case reports.
*the Bill currently applies the new regime to residential buildings with seven or more storeys or over 18m in height with more than one residence

**THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS**
**ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **We Lead (continued)**
## **Professional competence (continued)**
A statutory function of the new BSR is to ‘facilitate improvement in the competence of industry and of building inspectors’ and there is a duty for the BSR to give appropriate ‘assistance and encouragement’ to those in the industry or members of a profession to improve their competence.
The Bill establishes new statutory roles for individuals or organisations who design, construct and operate buildings. The BSR will set competence requirements for the designer and contractor, with duties on those appointing them to ensure that those appointed really are competent.
These requirements have been published in draft in the Draft Building (Appointment of Persons, Industry Competence and Dutyholders) Regulations. These create a new competence framework for the whole construction sector, and not just for higher risk buildings. They will introduce a requirement that everyone working on buildings must be competent to do what they do and be able to evidence their competence.
There will be an onus on people and employers to assess competence and demonstrate it to clients and regulators. There is also a duty not to accept an appointment for work for which a person or organisation is not competent.
To support these new requirements the British Standards Institution (BSI) has developed an ‘overarching framework’ for industry competence and is now developing more detailed specifications for the three new dutyholder roles of Principal Designer, Principal Contractor and Building Safety Manager.
CIBSE is closely involved in this work, both directly and in collaboration with the Engineering Council. We have contributed extensively to the drafts for public comment and continue to provide active support.
## **Fire safety engineering**
Fire safety remains a priority in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. Following the introduction in November 2018 of the ban on combustible materials in the external walls of residential buildings over 18m in height, there has been considerable debate about details of the application of the ban and of the permitted exemptions.
Whilst the overall intent is for designers and constructors to avoid the use of combustible materials wherever that is realistically feasible, the ban created a need for further guidance.
The Society of Façade Engineering, a division of CIBSE, worked with the Centre for Window and Cladding Technology (CWCT) to develop further guidance on the current regulations, which is now available from the CWCT website.
The guidance is based on the best knowledge available at the time of writing and is kept under review. A number of further questions have arisen, which have been considered as part of the ongoing review.

## **We Lead (continued)**
## **Net‐zero carbon building**
With the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) taking place in Glasgow in November, there has been significant activity through the year to develop the net‐zero carbon agenda. During the year CIBSE produced guidance on several aspects of decarbonisation of buildings, looking at heat pumps and electrification of buildings, as well as heat networks. CIBSE’s knowledge is a key tool, providing building designers, constructors and operators with the guidance they need to design, build, manage and operate low carbon buildings.
Our expertise is vital to setting appropriate standards for future homes and other buildings to provide safe, healthy, low carbon places to live, work, study and spend leisure time.
Following publication of the latest changes to Parts F and L of the Building Regulations and the introduction of the new Part O for overheating and Part S for electric vehicle charging, CIBSE continues to work with Government and industry to develop knowledge and guidance to enable the UK to meet the net zero challenge safely, and to support these changes to regulations to deliver net ‐zero carbon building approaches. We will also support the developments needed to create meaningful Future Homes and Future Building Standards.
We continue to work with the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) on the development of policy relating to low carbon heating and the operational use of energy in buildings.
## **Supporting climate change policy**
CIBSE has an established record of engagement on climate change mitigation and adaptation and the link to building performance. Our work on the impact of climate change on buildings, in particular overheating, continues to inform our guidance and supports the work of the Climate Change Committee, including the sixth carbon budget published at the end of 2020.
CIBSE collaborates with a number of organisations on climate change guidance and policy, including the Royal Academy of Engineering, London Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) and RIBA. As a full member of the Construction Industry Council (CIC), CIBSE participates actively in CIC policy related work, including the Climate Change Panel, where our Head of Sustainability, Dr Julie Godefroy, is an active participant on CIBSE’s behalf.
In 2021 CIBSE contributed to the development of the CIC climate action plan (Construction Industry Council ‐ CIC launches a Carbon Zero climate action plan for Professional Institutions), which CIBSE, along with nearly 40 organisations, signed up to in June 2021 and which was presented at COP26. It contains significant commitments for all institutions. We have since published our implementation proposals for the plan.
In 2021 CIBSE published the second annual update to its own climate change action plan, first published in 2019, which informed the CIC's framework action plan and set out CIBSE's own actions to adapt CIBSE activities to climate change.

## **We Lead (continued)**
## **Supporting climate change policy (continued)**
In late 2021, CIBSE was appointed by the BRE as sub‐consultant in a project for the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS), relating to the development of SAP/RdSAP 11, the calculation methodology which will accompany the 2025 Future Homes Standard. We are also represented on the oversight panel for the Future Homes Hub, which has been established to support implementation of environmental legislation in housebuilding. Together, these are two important opportunities to shape future low and zero carbon housing ‐ both new and existing.
In 2021 we also continued our support to various UK and devolved administration working groups, including the development by BEIS of operational ratings for non‐domestic buildings and various heat decarbonisation policies. This again shows the direct relevance of CIBSE's work to improving the performance of new and existing homes and non‐domestic buildings in the UK and demonstrates the value and influence of CIBSE guidance in the development of wider policy and regulation in relation to climate change.
## **Digital standards and tools**
CIBSE contributes to various industry initiatives and committees on digital standards. In 2021 we were involved in work around the Building Safety Act, including Golden Thread definitions with the Building Regulations Advisory Committee (BRAC). We are also contributing to the Golden Thread Initiative (GTI), which is a large group of professionals looking at what the Golden Thread will mean to our industry in practice.
We are also helping with the writing of BS 8644‐1 ( _Digital management of fire safety information. Part 1: Design, construction, handover, asset management and emergency response ‐ Code of practice_ ), which details methods by which fire safety related information can be created, captured, stored and exchanged.
CIBSE continues to contribute significantly to the series of international standards ISO 19650, _Organization of information about construction works_ . Two further parts are currently being worked on, ISO 19650‐4 ( _Organization and digitization of information about buildings and civil engineering works, including building information modelling (BIM) — Information management using building information modelling — Part 4: Information exchange_ ) and ISO 19650‐6 ( _Organization and digitization of information about buildings and civil engineering works, including building information modelling (BIM) — Information management using building information modelling — Part 6: Health and safety_ ).
We have been working on new digital tools for CIBSE. These include an embodied carbon calculator for building services products, based on the methodology detailed in TM65: _Embodied carbon in building services: A calculation methodology_ , which has been peer reviewed and beta‐tested. We have also developed a circular economy tool for lighting products with the Society of Light and Lighting, based on TM66: _Creating a circular economy in the lighting industry_ and the circular economy assessment methods, _CEAM‐Make_ and _CEAM‐Design_ .

## **CIBSE Technical Symposium**
The annual CIBSE Technical Symposium is an established and invaluable opportunity for professionals of all ages to hear about the latest building services innovations and research. All presentations must go through a peer‐review process to be selected for the event programme. The event aims to create a unique forum in which to share experiences and develop networks.
After the success of the first virtual CIBSE Technical Symposium in 2020, and due to a continued lockdown in the UK, CIBSE made the decision to organise the 2021 event online.
For the 2021 Symposium, 250 people registered and attended online sessions under the theme of ‘Engineering the built environment for a ‘new normal’’.
The 2022 event is planned to be held in person in April and we expect over 50 full papers to be presented.
The Symposium papers are available at www.cibse.org/symposium.
## **Consultations**
CIBSE is committed to leading the industry on technical, policy and regulatory changes. Responding to relevant consultations is an important activity and our Technology Committee oversees our responses to Government and devolved administration consultations and to calls for evidence from Select Committees. We invite members to contribute their views to the development of CIBSE responses via the consultations page on our website (CIBSE ‐ Building Services News and Policy) and our responses are also posted there.
A major focus of our efforts has been the ongoing response to the UK Government’s Building Safety Programme, set up to implement changes in the regulatory regime in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire.
CIBSE is committed to supporting the reform programme and works closely with Government and the wider industry through the CIC Building Safety Committee and the Construction Leadership Council Building Safety workstream.
CIBSE staff and members continue to contribute to consultations on energy use in buildings and on the draft legislation being introduced in support of the Building Safety Bill.
In 2021, formal responses were submitted to the following consultations:
- Heat network zoning
- Competition law and co‐operation for sustainability and zero carbon

## **Leading in collaboration – National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC)**
CIBSE is part of the National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC), led by the Royal Academy of Engineering, which comprises 43 UK engineering organisations and represents 450,000 engineers.
The Centre connects policymakers with critical engineering expertise to inform and respond to policy issues of national importance, giving policymakers a route to advice from across the whole profession, and the profession a unified voice on shared challenges. It gives policymakers access to excellent engineering expertise for social and economic benefit.
Early in 2021, the Academy was asked by the Government Chief Scientific Adviser to undertake a rapid review of actions to make infrastructure more resilient to infection. CIBSE worked closely with the Academy to deliver a rapid response, giving an initial overview of the strategic challenges we, as a society, face, along with providing advice on immediate measures to make a significant difference ahead of winter 2021/2.
The study showed that the COVID‐19 crisis has exposed flaws in the way we design, manage and operate buildings that, if left unchecked, will disrupt management of this and other pandemics, impose high financial and health costs on society, and constrain our ability to address other challenges, such as climate change. The report has had significant impact on policy and is available on the Cabinet Office website: RAEng: Infection Resilient Environments – Buildings that keep us healthy and safe, 19 ‐ July 2021 GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

## **Leading in collaboration – National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) (continued)**
In 2021 CIBSE was closely associated with the NEPC’s submission to the UK Government Spending Review, six‐engineering‐ambitions‐for‐the‐uk‐spending‐revi (raeng.org.uk). This recommends six areas for investment that the engineering profession believes the government should prioritise if it is to meet the goals it has set itself and the country.
CIBSE is contributing to the Academy workstream on net zero, which seeks to explore some of the hardest cross‐cutting challenges of decarbonisation and inform and advise policymakers on the opportunities that need to be addressed. CIBSE contributed to the report on urgent, ‘low regrets’ decisions that can be made now to have a significant impact on decarbonisation rapid‐low‐regrets‐ decision‐making‐for‐net‐zero‐pol (raeng.org.uk).
## **We Empower**
In 2021 CIBSE Knowledge focused on several of its defined themes for knowledge and research.
## **Net zero carbon**
Embodied carbon is at the forefront of our knowledge offerings, with the publication in January and December of _Embodied carbon: a calculation methodology_ (TM65) and _Embodied carbon: residential heating_ (TM65.1). The first methodology of its kind for building services, TM65 has made its mark, with higher sales and downloads than any other CIBSE guidance over the last 12 months. Research on this topic is ongoing, and further guidance planned for release in 2022.
Also eagerly awaited was the publication of _Electrification of buildings for net zero_ (TM67), addressing the decarbonisation challenge that lays ahead of us and providing strategies and performance metrics to help get the job done.
## **The circular economy**
_Creating a circular economy in the lighting industry_ (TM66) is an example of the right publication at the right time, providing not only much‐needed guidance on circular economy principles but also a template for addressing the circular economy throughout building services.
## **Health, wellbeing and safety**
A new addition to our suite of COVID‐19 guidance documents informs the assessment of the efficacy of air cleaning devices to supplement natural ventilation strategies: _COVID‐19: Air cleaning technologies._ We have also made substantial updates to two of our existing COVID publications: _COVID‐19: Ventilation_ and _COVID‐19: Recommissioning of lifts and escalators._

## **We Empower (continued)**
## **Digital engineering**
2021 saw the release of three new CIBSE Digital Tools.
The _Relative exposure index calculator_ is a sister to _COVID‐19: Air cleaning technologies._ It provides a clear method for assessing the efficacy of various air cleaning devices, and better ventilation, in improving the health outcomes expected in a given space.
Two tools sit alongside _Creating a circular economy in the lighting industry_ (TM66).
The _Circular economy assessment method – Make is_ a comprehensive tool allowing manufacturers to fully engage with the depth of detail required to assess the circular economy‐characteristics of a product. The _Circular economy assessment method – Specify is_ a triage tool for designers, specifiers, and engineers, allowing a quick comparison of the circular economy credentials of two or more products.
## **Technical journals**
CIBSE publishes two peer‐reviewed technical journals: _Building Services Engineering Research and Technology (BSER&T)_ ; and _Lighting, Research and Technology (LR&T)_ in partnership with publisher Sage. They continue to go from strength to strength, with _BSER&T_ published six times a year and _LR&T_ eight times a year to meet demand.
They enable the Institution to disseminate peer‐reviewed research to a wide international audience and contribute to the development of CIBSE knowledge and guidance for the future.
_BSER&T_ featured three special issues in 2021. In May a special issue was published that explored the challenges and solutions associated with decarbonising buildings. The diverse set of papers submitted were of a high quality and relevance as the world grapples with the challenges of decarbonising buildings and seeks to maintain a stable climate.
The September and November issues in 2021 featured a selection of papers developed and subsequently peer‐reviewed from those delivered at the tenth annual – and first virtual – CIBSE ASHRAE Technical Symposium in 2020. The event ‘Engineering buildings, systems and environments for effective operation,’ was held online in September 2020 and included a rich variety of research and application delivered by a diverse and enthusiastic group of presenters from both sides of the Atlantic.
The first set of selected papers considered aspects of evaluation and simulation that can overcome some of the uncertainties in the prediction of systems performance by applying more intelligence and knowledge. The second set of papers explored methods of improving the operational performance of buildings through inspection and monitoring, carefully considered engineering modifications to building fabric and systems operation, and improved user education and feedback.
_BSER&T_ once again improved its impact factor, which has been steadily rising for several years and reflects the quality of papers it publishes.

The Society has also taken part in a number of collaborative events in support of the Women in Lighting initiative.
## **Society of Façade Engineering (SFE)**
The Society of Façade Engineering brings professionals together in a forum where they can work together to advance knowledge and practice in façade engineering, promote good practice and ensure that today's increasingly complex building façades meet the many and varied performance criteria.
The Society focuses on the many disciplines involved in the interdisciplinary process of design, supply, installation, testing and operation of building façades. The Society is built on the belief that for buildings to achieve a high energy efficiency, and create a safe and comfortable environment for occupants, there must be appropriate dialogue between architects, façade engineers, building services engineers, structural engineers, and contractors.
In 2021, the Society was heavily involved in consultations and guidance within the façade industry, delivering a response to the RICS External Wall System 1 (EWS1) consultation. The Society also consulted their membership on a public draft of the publicly available specification, PAS 670, _Magnesium oxide‐based boards for use in buildings – Specification._ The Society made extensive comments on the draft PAS 9980: _Fire risk appraisal and assessment of external wall construction and cladding of existing blocks of flats – code of practice, which provides a clear assessment methodology for facades_ . They also supported the University of Cambridge PhD research project on laminated glass separation experimental work.
Throughout the year, the SFE held numerous events, both virtually and in person. The Society welcomed industry experts, including Anusha Badrinarayanan, who gave a presentation titled _The benefits of identifying carbon baseline for façades_ and Antony Smith who presented on _Design and development of a truly bespoke feature glass ceiling_ . Members were also able to participate in in‐ person events, including a regional façade walk in Birmingham, and were represented at the Zak World of Façades event in Dubai. The Society is planning to continue webinars and in‐person events throughout 2022.
in 2021, across four application deadlines, the SFE welcomed over 30 new graded members through their application process. Prospective members are asked to provide evidence of their experience and expertise, which is then submitted to the SFE Grading Panel. If the applicant is successful, they are awarded Society membership, within which they will either be an Associate (ASFE) Member (MSFE) or Fellow (FSFE). The Society is working to align its membership more fully with the UK SPEC and CIBSE Membership requirements.

## **Media relations**
In 2021 CIBSE’s media relations played a vital role in communicating the COVID‐19 guidance. This unique set of guidance, created by collaborative groups of members and other industry experts, includes ventilation, safely re‐occupying buildings, recommissioning of lifts and escalators, and lift use and occupancy. In 2021 new guidance was added to the set, on air cleaning technologies and was supported by the relative exposure index _c_ alculator.

## **Building Services Awards**
Our portfolio of awards shines a spotlight on the vast expertise and talent within the building services industry. The outstanding achievements by all those shortlisted – individuals, teams and companies – illustrate the diverse skills and experience of our community. Each and every person involved should be proud of their achievements.
## **Building Performance Awards 2021**
The 2021 CIBSE Building Performance Awards were held virtually for the first time in February.
The awards showcase the highest achievements in building performance across the construction and property industry, providing recognition of outstanding building services engineering practice.
In this, their fourteenth year, the 16 awards recognised the individuals, teams and companies who demonstrate an exceptional commitment to ensuring buildings deliver safe, healthy, comfortable, efficient and sustainable environments for people to live, work and occupy, and essentially that they are fit for purpose for their lifespan.
The 2021 awards included new COVID‐19 Achievement Awards to recognise those who have responded to the challenge of making people and buildings safer during the pandemic. Four teams involved in the delivery of the Nightingale hospitals were recognised for the remarkable work that building services professionals have undertaken to contribute to the nation’s effort to combat the effects of COVID‐19.
Buro Happold was named Building Performance Champion 2021, claiming four accolades in total. Judges praised them for their ‘holistic view of building performance that draws back into wider sustainability views,’ and for going ‘beyond the standard engineering offer’.
Judges felt that Buro Happold’s willingness to champion sustainability, work with others and learn from projects made it a worthy overall winner. Chair of judges, Hywel Davies, said they had: ‘shown clear leadership and demonstrated how to deliver low carbon buildings at scale and reduce the impact of existing buildings, which remains a huge challenge across the building stock’.
The winners of the five project categories span the globe, with four out of the five project categories being awarded to international projects, based in America, South Korea, Japan and Abu Dhabi.
Aleksandra (Sasha) Krstanovic was crowned CIBSE Engineer of the Year 2021 after impressing the judges with her enthusiasm for inspiring the next generation of engineers to take an active role in building performance. The judges felt her passion for the role of engineers in mitigating climate change makes her a great ambassador for CIBSE.

## **Future Plans**
## **We lead**
Evidence of the gap in performance between building design and what is built in practice continues to emerge. The response to COVID‐19 has exposed the widespread failings of ventilation provision to meet the current requirements and comes alongside continuing revelations about a lack of compliance with the fire safety requirements in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
CIBSE has for many years been articulating concerns about the energy performance gap, which first emerged almost 20 years ago.
If we are serious about the recent commitments to delivering net‐zero emission buildings that are safe, properly ventilated and comfortable places to occupy then this deficit between design ambition and realised outcomes must be addressed. There is an urgent need to redouble efforts to deliver improved performance of our built environment, not just in design and construction, but throughout the life cycle of operation and maintenance.
CIBSE will continue to deliver guidance that supports this improvement, and to work with others to do so.
CIBSE will continue to support the response to the inquiry into the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the Building Safety Programme in every appropriate way, seeking as far as possible to eliminate the risk of such an event happening again.
We will continue to support the ongoing reforms to industry regulations, competence, practice, procurement, enforcement and guidance. In particular, we will continue to develop our membership and professional standards systems to support the new competence and dutyholder regulations and to provide guidance, training and professional support to the sector on these matters.
## **We Empower**
CIBSE will continue to work with our members and the wider industry to deliver best practice knowledge, guidance and learning through all appropriate media and at point‐of‐use to support further improvement of the safety, comfort and performance of buildings, occupants and wider community.
We will continue to review our delivery of engineering knowledge and continuing professional development activity to maintain and enhance the competence of our members and the industry.
We will maintain a wide‐ranging programme of knowledge development to continue to provide guidance that meets the needs of a safe and net‐zero carbon built environment for all.
We will continue to review and develop the guidance that is needed to support the transition to net zero buildings, addressing both the provision of new buildings and the interventions needed to significantly reduce emissions from the existing stock.

Supporting engineers into CIBSE membership and professional registration remains at the centre of what the membership department does.
Initiatives for 2022 include:
- Continuing our vital work on the building safety agenda, contributing to the framework of the contextualised register and to revalidation plans.
- Embedding and developing CPD standards to support the continued competence of the industry.
- Simplifying the process of our Individual Route for applicants to gain IEng/CEng Registration who do not hold the required academic qualifications.
- Continuing process improvement to ensure customer service and staff efficiency.
- Embedding more robust unconscious bias training for our volunteers across Standards and conducting an end‐to‐end process review to ensure our guidance and support is as good as it can be for neurodivergent candidates.
- Introducing moderation across all interviews to ensure continuous improvement.
- Implementing two revised apprenticeship standards for End‐Point Assessment and review of our existing assessment methods in line with Ofqual regulatory requirements and a submission of a further two standards to Ofqual for recognition.
- Supporting our Groups, Regions and Societies to develop strategic plans in order to continue to enhance their impact.
- Supporting our vital volunteers by ensuring they have improved resources through our new website and are properly thanked through more recognition.
We will also continue to participate in the work of the Construction Leadership Council and Construction Industry Council to champion the role of engineers and engineering in building a safer future under the new regulatory regime.
## **We Inspire**
We will continue to maximise the impact of the work of CIBSE, our members and the wider building services engineering community and their commitment to improving the safety, performance, health and sustainability of the built environment.

## **Future Plans (continued)**
## **We Inspire (continued)**
We will expand our internal press support and the key messages of our communications, in the press, social media and blogs and create awareness outside the building services engineering community of the value and impact of our members’ work.
We will use our 125[th] year anniversary as a platform to inspire the next generation of building services engineers, challenging our members and communities to increase their efforts to engage with students and early careers engineers.
We will move forward with creating a new website, which personalises members’ experience, clearly reflects CIBSE’s voice and provides access to knowledge and information that supports our diverse community of built environment professionals.
We will continue to showcase good practice through _CIBSE Journal_ , our awards, events, #GrowYourKnowledge webinars, Build2Perform Live, Technical Symposium, our technically focussed Societies and Special Interest Groups and other technical activities and communications, raising public awareness of what CIBSE and its members do and the importance and value of building services engineering to society.
## **Certification**
In 2021 CIBSE Certification continued to certify the competence of energy professionals. CIBSE Certification has more than 750 energy assessors registered for the purposes of the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations and Climate Change (Scotland) Act and more than 900 Low Carbon Consultants.
CIBSE Certification continuously works to raise the profile of its certification schemes to reinforce the reputation of Low Carbon Consultants (LCCs) and Low Carbon Energy Assessors (LCEAs) as a high quality, expert service and an important means of raising competence across the industry. The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards Regulations have seen an increase in demand for CIBSE Certification registered energy assessors from landlord organisations reviewing their property portfolios.
The COVID‐19 lockdown and ongoing restrictions continued to present a challenge in 2021, but through regular contact with Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities officials and the Property Energy Professionals Association, CIBSE Certification were able to keep assessors informed about Government guidance and business support.
Lodgement credit sales in 2021 were back to a more normal level.
Our UKAS accreditation to certify energy management systems against ISO 50001 and quality management systems against ISO 9001means that CIBSE Certification can support companies operating energy management systems or quality management systems by providing third party assessment that their system operation conforms to the standard.

## **Financial Review**
The Institution’s Annual Accounts are presented to comply with the Charities Act 2011, its Royal Charter and By‐Laws, and to meet all applicable accounting standards including the Statement of Recommended Practice ‐ Accounting and Reporting by Charities and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102). Investments are shown at market value and the Annual Accounts incorporate the assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of the Regions. The results of the Institution’s commercial subsidiaries, CIBSE Services Limited, CIBSE Certification Limited and The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers Hong Kong Limited, are incorporated into the Consolidated Accounts.
Total income for 2021 was £6.90M, representing an increase of £775k in 2020. Most revenue streams across the Group improved in 2021 with only revenues from investments and restricted activities remaining at either similar or slightly below 2020 levels. The most significant increase was seen in the trading subsidiaries, which grew by £380k from 2020 levels. Although not yet back to pre‐pandemic levels, market confidence appears to be improving and commercial revenue continues to grow. In addition, a bequest from the late Graham Manly was received in 2021, which the Trustees have agreed to designate as a separate fund in the upcoming year, in honour of his contribution to the organisation.
Whilst expenditure continued to be monitored tightly across the business and cost saving measures implemented wherever growth would not be impacted, new activity across the Group coupled with inflationary pressures saw expenditure increase over the year to £6.61M from £6.20M in 2020.
The overall result of the above was a surplus before gains on investments of £279k, compared with a loss of £87k in the previous year. This was further increased by a net gain on investments of £293k, resulting in a net surplus of £572k.
There was an actuarial loss on the Defined Benefit Pension Scheme of £130k, as a result of investment performance, actuarial assumptions and the effect of the asset ceiling. The Institution continues to

## **Financial Review (continued)**
fund the recovery plan agreed following the triennial valuation of the Scheme carried out on 1st April 2020.
As a result, funds increased by £442k from £2.57M in 2020 to £3.02M in 2021.
The Group cash balance increased from £1.28M in 2020 to £1.91M, following improved performance.
## **Reserves policy**
The Institution has a reserves policy to maintain a level of funds that is sufficient to meet four months of payroll expenditure, any unplanned contingencies and to accommodate investment for new initiatives. The Board considers that the Institution’s overall level of funds is sufficient for these purposes, and the free reserves of the Institution have increased during the year. The intention of the Board is to rebuild free reserves to previous levels over time.
At the year end, the Institution held free reserves of £0.98M (2020: £0.69M), being the amount of funds available excluding restricted and designated funds, and less reserves held as tangible fixed assets.
It is the view of the Board that any expenditure from reserves should be applied only to finance new initiatives which will make a substantial contribution to the delivery of the Institution’s strategic charitable objectives, and that the cost of existing activities should be met from incoming revenues from year to year. Any decision on the use of reserves rests with the Board on the advice of the Hon. Treasurer and the Finance, Risk, Audit & Governance Sub Committee.
## **Going concern**
Whilst considering the adoption of going concern for the Group, the Trustees take into account a number of factors including key risks facing the organisation, budgets and ongoing forecasting, cashflow forecasts, including sensitivity analysis, and short‐ and long‐term liquidity.
The COVID‐19 pandemic significantly impacted revenues from subsidiaries during 2020. However, 2021 has seen revenues strengthen and some even return to pre‐pandemic levels. Membership income, which accounts for over half of the Group’s revenues, remain consistent. The Institution worked hard to continue to demonstrate member benefits in an online environment and this was supported through access to substantial and essential knowledge provided by CIBSE, some of which wase key guidance during the COVID‐19 pandemic with respect to ventilation.
The Institution also owns in its entirety, the freehold premises from which it operates at 222 Balham High Road: an asset likely to be worth more to the Institution than is currently recognised in the
44

## **Financial Review (continued)**
## **Going Concern (continued)**
accounts. Whilst short‐term liquidity continues to be an area of focus, as is the case for most businesses, there are currently adequate cash reserves removing any concerns.
To protect against any further impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic, or the need to draw down on investments in a potentially undesirable market, the Institution also secured a Government‐backed Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan facility of £500k. The facility has not been used at the time of preparing these accounts.
The Group conducts ongoing, detailed forecasts and cashflow analysis to assess liquidity and is confident that there are adequate resources to meet obligations falling due within the next 12 months and will continue to drive growth for the foreseeable future.
It is for the above reasons that the Trustees continue to consider CIBSE a going concern.
## **Risk management**
It is the responsibility of the Board as the Trustees of the Institution to examine the major operational and business risks which the Institution faces and to establish appropriate systems to manage significant risks.
Risk is assessed as part of the consideration of all new projects, and the Finance, Risk, Audit & Governance Sub Committee is charged with the detailed examination of the Institution’s Risk Register and the presentation of an annual review of the Institution’s overall risk profile for the Board’s consideration. This review has identified and assessed the major risks faced by the Institution and confirmed that appropriate control systems have been established to manage those risks. The Board will continue to review the overall risk profile on an annual basis, and to consider specific and substantial risks as they arise.
The Board has identified:
- a loss of contact with, and relevance to the membership, and
- a failure to develop and maintain appropriate and relevant content for the Knowledge Portal
as major operational risks to the Institution and its subsidiary. To address the first of these risks, the Institution allows for election of Board and Council Members, and communicates regularly with members through Council, Regions, Societies and Groups. For the second risk, the Knowledge Management Committee reviews, and updates content on a regular basis.
The Board has identified financial sustainability as a principal financial risk for the Institution and its subsidiary companies. Key elements in the management of financial risk include regular review of

## **Financial Review (continued)**
## **Risk Management (continued)**
available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due, regular liaison with the bank, and active management of trade debtors and creditors balances to ensure sufficient working capital.
The Board is aware that the UK’s exit from the European Union may continue to have potentially significant consequences for the Building Services Industry and for the Institution.
The Covid‐19 pandemic impacted on several areas of risk, in particular affecting income streams and limiting the Institution’s ability to conduct its normal activities. The Finance, Risk, Audit & Governance Sub Committee (FRAG) kept the situation under constant review. Mitigating action was taken wherever possible, including moving activities to an online format and reducing expenditure where possible. As the UK government lifts restrictions, so the risk has subsided. FRAG has consolidated previous Brexit and Covid schedules into the main body of the risk register.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers is governed by its Royal Charter and By‐Laws, which were awarded in 1976 and last amended in 2010, when they were substantially streamlined by the removal of many former By‐Laws into a new set of Regulations. Further changes to the By‐Laws and Regulations concerning Officer and Board Member nominations, appointments and elections were approved in General Meeting during 2018.
The members of the Board of the Institution are the Trustees of the Charity. The Board is composed of the Officers of the Institution (the President, the President Elect, the three Vice Presidents, the Honorary Treasurer and the Immediate Past President) and five additional members who are elected for a three‐year term of office. The office of President is filled automatically by the previous year’s President Elect, with the office of Immediate Past President being filled by the previous year’s President. Under new rules approved during 2018, the Vice Presidents and the Honorary Treasurer are appointed by the Board, whilst the President‐Elect position remains subject to election.
The Board is required to nominate candidates each year for forthcoming vacancies for President Elect and for members of the Board and to make appointments to the offices of Vice President and Honorary Treasurer following consideration of advice received from the Nominations Panel. All newly appointed Trustees are provided with an information pack containing relevant information on their role, including Charity Commission guidance on Trustees’ responsibilities. In addition, training on Trustees’ responsibilities is carried out annually.
The Board meets five times each year to direct the business of the Institution and is assisted by the House & Remuneration Sub Committee (which deals with terms and conditions of employment of the Chief Executive and senior staff and ad hoc issues) and the Finance, Risk, Audit & Governance Sub
46

**ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **Structure, Governance and Management (continued)**
Committee (which deals with budgeting, management and financial accounts, audit, risk and governance issues). The Standing Committees of the Institution (the Education, Training & Membership Committee, Technology Committee, Professional Practices Committee, Publications & Research Outputs Delivery Committee and the Regional Liaison Committee) report to the Board and have delegated authority within their spheres of activity.
CIBSE Services Limited, one of two of the Institution’s trading subsidiaries, is governed by Directors, appointed by the Board of the Institution, who meet regularly to monitor and direct its activities. The purpose of CIBSE Services Limited is to generate income for the Institution through the development and operation of commercial activities which are aligned with and support the objectives of the Institution. The Chair of CIBSE Services Limited makes regular reports to the Board of the Institution.
CIBSE Certification Limited, the other of the Institution’s trading subsidiaries, is governed by Directors, appointed by the Board of the Institution, who meet regularly to monitor and direct its activities. The purpose of CIBSE Certification Limited is to generate income for the Institution through certification activities which are aligned with and support the objectives of the Institution. The Directors of CIBSE Certification Limited report to the Finance, Risk, Audit and Governance Sub Committee of the Institution.
The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers Hong Kong Limited is a company limited by guarantee registered in Hong Kong. It was established to handle the operation of the CIBSE Hong Kong Region in order to meet local legislative requirements, and ultimate control of the company rests with the CIBSE Board through the appointment of its directors. The Hong Kong region otherwise operates in the same manner as other CIBSE regions, but under the auspices of this local incorporation.
## **Key management personnel remuneration**
The Board is responsible for the governance and overall control of the Institution. The Chief Executive conducts the business of the Institution on a day‐to‐day basis under the direction of the Board, supported by the senior management staff of the Institution.
All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of Trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in Note 8 to the accounts.
Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Chief Executive and in accordance with the Institution’s policy withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.
The pay of the charity’s Chief Executive and senior management staff is reviewed annually by the House & Remuneration Sub Committee, which is a sub‐committee of the Board of Trustees comprising
47
**THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS**
**ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **Structure, Governance and Management (continued)**
## **Key management personnel remuneration (continued)**
the President, President‐Elect, Immediate Past President and Honorary Treasurer. Authority is delegated to the House Sub Committee to appraise the performance of the Chief Executive and to approve any increase to the remuneration of the Chief Executive and of the senior management staff.
A range of factors are considered in this process, including job performance, price and earnings inflation, market conditions and comparisons with other professional institutions.
## **Public benefit**
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
## **Nominations Process Review**
Each year, vacancies arise for Institution Officers, Board Members and Council Members and the CIBSE Board has to nominate and appoint candidates for the various roles to take office at the following AGM. The Board is advised in this process by the Institution’s Nominations Panel, which considers candidates in detail and makes recommendation to the Board.
A new methodology was introduced in 2021 to improve the objectivity and transparency of this process, to increase the focus on diversity and inclusivity, and to ensure a broad range of representation across different sectors of the industry.
The Nominations Panel implemented a target quota system for the nominations pool, which included having a maximum of 60% of nominations from one gender and having 20% from ethnic minority groups. Through an awareness raising campaign and by encouraging individuals directly to put themselves forward, the panel achieved these quotas. This was key to ensuring sufficient and diverse choice in the pool of candidates to be taken forward to nomination.
Objective scoring criteria were established for the assessment process, with compulsory quotas applied to the final outcome, and non‐compulsory quotas used to ensure breadth of choice but not to be enforced at final selection.
Following an enhanced marketing and outreach programme, 23 members were put forward as potential candidates for consideration by the Nominations Panel. All completed an application form with references being taken, and each candidate was evaluated by the Panel against the agreed scoring criteria.
This has proved a valuable exercise and is already delivering a more robust process of consideration. The system will be developed in future years, with lessons learned from the 2021 nominations round being used further to refine and enhance the nominations process.

## **Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Institution and the Group and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Institution and the Group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Institution and the Group will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Institution’s transactions and that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Institution and the Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Institution and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Institution and the Group’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO MEMBERS OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (the “parent charity”) and its subsidiaries (the “group”) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Institution Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group or parent charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
54
## **THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO MEMBERS OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS**
## **Other information**
The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ report; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept by the parent charity; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 52, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
55
## **THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO MEMBERS OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS**
## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non‐compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non‐compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity and group operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011 together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were General Data Protection Regulations, taxation legislation, health & safety legislation and employment legislation.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non‐compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Extenl to whlch the audlt was consldered capable of detertlng Irreiularltles, Includlng fraud
Icontlnuedl
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements frorn irregularities,
including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of income, and the override of controls by
management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and
the Finance. Risk. Audit and Governance Committee about their own identification and assessment of
the rlsks of irregularities, sample testin8 on the posting of journals, analytical procedures and sample
testing of income. reviewing accounting estimates for biases. reviewing regulatory correspondence
with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an atydit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have
detected some material misstatements in the financial statement5, even though we have properly
planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further
removed non-compllance with laws and wulations lirre8ularitiesl is from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements, the le55 likely the inherently limited procedure5 required by

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **20 CIBSE PENSION SCHEMES**
CIBSE operates both a defined contribution and a defined benefit pension scheme which require contributions to be made separately to administered funds for the benefit of the employees. The defined contribution scheme was opened in November 2001 and employer contribution commenced in April 2007.
## **Final salary pension scheme**
The defined benefit scheme has been reported under section 28 of FRS 102. The most recent actuarial valuation was at 1 April 2020 and it showed that the market value of the scheme's assets was £4,258,000.
Based on the current schedule of contributions the estimated contribution to be paid over to the scheme in 2021 is at least 57.2% p.a (2020: 45.2% p.a) of the pensionable salary roll, on a monthly basis.
The Trustees and the employer agreed to additional employer contributions of £150,000 p.a. until the Funding Valuation shortfall is addressed. The actuarial valuation calculated the Funding Valuation shortfall is expected to be addressed until 28 February 2026. The payments are payable by the last day of February each year and are due to remain the same over the period.
The number of employees in the scheme at the year end were:
||**2021**|**2020**|
|---|---|---|
|Active employees|1|1|
|Deferred pensioners|15|17|
|Pensioners*|25|25|
*This has been changed to include both the insured and the uninsured pensioners.
The financial assumptions used by the actuary to calculate the scheme liabilities under FRS 102 were as follows:
||**2021**|**2020**|
|---|---|---|
|Rate of increase in salaries|4.8%|4.3%|
|Rate of increase in pensions in payments accrued before 6 April 1997|3.0%|3.0%|
|Rate of increase in pensions in payments accrued after 6 April 1997|3.0%|3.0%|
|Discount rate|1.9%|1.2%|
|Retail price inflation|3.6%|3.1%|
