President’s message

It has been an absolute privilege to be CIBSE President in its 125[th] year. I have felt a profound responsibility to adequately mark this milestone. This was the motivation behind my call to action for members and the wider industry to 'inspire the next generation' with my five challenges: Celebrate, Inspire, Boost, Share and Engage.

As an institution, we recognise the vital role that building services engineers play in delivering a safe, healthy, and sustainable future, and I wanted these challenges to reflect that.

I have been bowled over by the response these challenges have received, and the enthusiasm and energy with which people have embraced them.

Inspire the next generation

The overarching theme for the challenges was to ‘inspire the next generation’. It is of huge importance that we ensure we attract a dynamic, diverse range of people to join our industry, at a time when there is so much to be done to address the consequences of our climate emergency.

My challenges aimed to encourage action, communication and collaboration. They highlight the importance of celebrating and supporting those at the beginning of their engineering journey. They also champion and raise the profile of engineers throughout their careers, together with those who have mentored and nurtured others. These challenges act as a vehicle for celebrating role models, icons, mentors, and achievements and sharing lessons learnt. I wanted them to be a spark for igniting imagination, inspiration and action.

They have also been about sharing our stories. In my Presidential Address, I identified that, as engineers, we often prefer to focus on problem-solving and delivering solutions rather than telling others about the work that we do and the impact it has on everyday life. It is incredibly important that we are better at sharing our stories and our work, representing the diverse and varied routes into the industry and inspiring others to join the journey.

In terms of celebrating – we have had plenty of cause to celebrate in 2022. We held a number of awards across the year, which showcased the talent and expertise in our industry, among them the Building Performance Awards, President’s Awards, Young Lighter of the Year Award, and my personal favourite, the Young Engineers Awards (YEAs). It was particularly special for me to be back on that stage 26 years after I was named Graduate of the Year. In fact, my personal experience of the YEAs had a big sway on the theme for my presidential year.

I was once again impressed by the knowledge and innovative ideas presented by those in the early stages of their career. They provided insight into the priorities, direction, and approach required to overcome the urgent challenges that we face.

Just as important as the rising, talented workforce are those who support, mentor and nurture them, boosting them to reach their full potential. I feel extremely fortunate to have received support and encouragement from my employer in the early stages of my career, and this is something that I strive to pay forward in my professional life. It was encouraging to see companies of varying sizes

leading by example in the support and development opportunities that they are providing for early career engineers in those shortlisted for the Employer of the Year Awards.

It's also essential we celebrate the achievements of our longer-standing members – those role models who have paved the way, mentored and encouraged others into and through the industry. It was an honour to be able to recognise eight dedicated CIBSE members with gold and silver medals at the President’s Awards Dinner. Their unerring commitment to the industry and the Institution is a real inspiration to everyone.

The CIBSE Building Performance Awards were another great showcase for our collective industry’s achievements. It was incredibly inspiring to see so many outstanding, innovative projects making real energy and embodied carbon savings, which will ultimately lead to making the changes required for our new and existing building stock to hit our carbon reduction targets, and our drive towards a net zero carbon future.

Another key pledge for my presidential year was to further strengthen CIBSE's international reach. To this end, I was delighted to visit the UAE region on a five-day trip in September. Whilst there, I signed agreements on behalf of CIBSE, with De Montfort University, Dubai and Manipal University, Dubai to launch CIBSE Student Groups at each university. The agreements are testament to our mutual commitment to supporting building services engineers and the role they play in delivering a sustainable, safer and healthier built environment.

Building safety and the golden thread

The biggest news this year for our industry was the Building Safety Act receiving Royal Assent in April. The Act, introduced in response to the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy and Dame Judith Hackitt’s subsequent Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, is the most fundamental reform of regulation across the construction and residential property sectors in living memory.

It transforms the law relating to design and construction of all buildings and operation of higher-risk residential buildings and will have an impact on the work of everyone in the construction sector. We all need to be aware of our responsibilities laid out in the Act, and it is vital that we meet those requirements in a way that also delivers net zero carbon-ready buildings. This is the bedrock of what we do.

You can all be reassured that CIBSE is ready to respond and work with the industry to deliver the changes required and is committed to disseminating details of the requirements to help everyone understand their obligations.

Indeed, CIBSE's Technical Team has been involved in the review and consultation with government throughout the process - testament to their expert knowledge - so we can be confident we are in safe hands.

This sharing of knowledge was evident in the first of the new Golden Thread conference series launched by CIBSE this year. The event saw CIBSE Technical Director Dr Hywel Davies provide a comprehensive overview of the Building Safety Act, the integration of the golden thread of

information and the need for safety case processes and regular reporting in higher-risk residential buildings.

We have also been reminded of the fundamental importance of the requirement to provide adequate ventilation with regards to building safety, with the tragic death of Awaab Ishak. Awaab died just before his second birthday as a consequence of mould that grew because his home was inadequately ventilated. Ventilation has been such a major part of the dialogue around reducing the transmission of COVID-19, but Awaab’s shocking death reminds us that ventilation is a matter of life safety and, like fire, needs to be treated as such.

Net zero carbon

This year we have seen real progress being made in the drive towards net zero carbon with the launch of the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard initiative.

The Standard, which is being developed by a cross-industry partnership, including CIBSE, will enable the industry to robustly demonstrate their built assets are net zero carbon and in line with the UK’s commitments under the Climate Change Act, by setting out a single agreed set of performance targets for different buildings. It will also enable buildings claiming to be net zero carbon to demonstrate that they meet science-based decarbonisation trajectories.

With buildings being directly responsible for around 40% of UK emissions, there is no credible pathway to net zero for the UK economy without tackling emissions associated with the construction and operation of our buildings. The Standard will help address the urgent requirement for clarity to demonstrate real outcomes and give trust to clients, owners, and occupiers.

I welcome the appointment of David Partridge as Governance Board Chair of the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard to further these goals.

CIBSE's TM65: Embodied carbon of building services: A calculation methodology is a valuable resource to help support professionals in delivering on targets and transitioning towards a net zero carbon future. I was delighted to see CIBSE publish guidance on using the methodology outside the UK, and a dedicated methodology for Australia and New Zealand. Similar guides are being prepared for other regions as well.

Added to this has been the publication of new guidance on delivering net zero carbon buildings, by the Low Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) with CIBSE. The guidance is designed to provide clarity on what net zero means for buildings, in practice, in detail. The published definitions are based on meeting operational energy and embodied carbon targets and generating energy from renewable sources. There is clearly a huge benefit to the whole sector in having a common set of definitions and guidance on implementation, so that we all - and this includes clients and occupants – are clear on our goals.

Despite the challenges, we are making headway. A clear demonstration of this was the Building Performance Awards’ Project of the Year – Retail/Leisure winner, Cyclone Energy Group, which won for their work with McDonald's Corporation in designing what is believed to be the world's first net zero quick service restaurant at Walt Disney World, Florida, USA. The restaurant's roof solar panels enable the restaurant to generate more energy than it consumes.

And they weren't the only ones. Contractor Michael Lonsdale Group won the Embodied Carbon Award for its pioneering work with suppliers to create a database of low embodied carbon products that enables it to recommend low carbon building services systems to its clients.

It is hugely encouraging to see the progress being made. The innovative approaches, like those of our award winners, and the inspiring new engineers entering our industry give us much to feel optimistic about.

I would just like to finish with a personal message of thanks to each of you for your support in CIBSE's 125[th] year and for rising to the 125 Challenges I set. Together, let's pledge to continue to inspire and share throughout our career journeys. #Celebrate #Inspire #Boost #Share #Engage.

Chief Executive Officer’s message

2022 has been an outstanding year for CIBSE. Our membership numbers have remained high, our guidance output has exceeded previous years, and we have extended our portfolio of events. Together these have allowed us to invest more in engagement, technical guidance, and member services, and thereby increase the impact and role of the building services engineer.

The sheer quantity and quality of the events, products, publications, and training produced is a testament to the expertise, hard work and drive of CIBSE staff and volunteers.

The year also saw the welcome return of in-person events, with the Building Performance Awards in February, Technical Symposium in April and two President’s Awards Dinners in February (delayed from 2021) and October. With this being the first time I have attended these events in person, it has been a pleasure to meet so many members and witness first-hand the scope and talent of our Institution. I have been incredibly impressed by the level of quality and content of the events themselves, and also the passion and engagement from all attendees.

The Façade Awards in November were a welcome addition to our calendar. The event, a celebration of the achievements in façade engineering, was a great showcase for this specialist area within our sector. By renewing these awards and offering more assistance to develop them, we strengthen and grow our reach, highlight the diversity of experience and skills across our community and better support our wider membership.

For the same reasons it has been a priority to reach out to our international members; this is particularly important now that 29% of our membership is non-UK based. The international visits to UAE with CIBSE President Kevin Mitchell, and Hong Kong with President-Elect Adrian Catchpole have been two of the highlights of the year. These visits will help foster stronger bonds with our overseas membership and encourage partnerships with like-minded organisations.

We can learn a huge amount from projects and working practices across the world and everyone has a contribution to make. We want all our members to feel valued, supported and engaged, no matter where they are in the world, and intend to continue to reach out to our global membership.

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2022 also saw the launch of the new CIBSE website. The updated design is a vast improvement, with better navigation, added features and a membership wizard to help visitors find the right membership grades for them. This new ‘shop window’ better reflects the work we do and I look forward to further website developments over the next year.

Financially, 2022 has been a very strong year for the Institution, despite ongoing tough economic conditions. The revenue generated from events, training, CIBSE Journal and various other income streams will be fed back into CIBSE, allowing us to strengthen our offering to the construction and property sectors, through professional accreditation, guidance and knowledge, training, events and networking.

The expertise and knowledge sharing across our community are also apparent through the vast range of events run by our Societies, Regions and Special Interest Groups. Whilst these events are organised almost entirely by volunteers, CIBSE head office pledges to continue to support them. I would encourage you all to take advantage of the opportunities to attend them in your region.

As well as knowledge sharing and collaboration, we also want CIBSE to be a force for change. Our Technical Team’s reach and influence, through our guidance, input into government consultations, and involvement in the building safety review, demonstrates the high regard and respect CIBSE’s expertise and knowledge enjoys. With the continued drive to net zero carbon and the ongoing focus on building safety, the output from the Technical Team will remain at the forefront of our work. As such, investing in this team is a priority in the coming year.

Our clear objective is to continue to grow over the next few years, both in respect of our membership and our output. Supporting this growth will be our decision to seek to move CIBSE’s head office from its current home in Balham to a more central London location.

CIBSE has enjoyed its south London location for over 44 years, but our building is no longer fit for purpose, and it simply isn’t a suitable ‘shop front’ for the Institution. For CIBSE to develop, increase our reach and deliver greater benefits in line with our charitable goal, we need a home that reflects the world class professional institution that we are, and is more easily accessible to our staff, our volunteers and all our stakeholders.

There is still a lot to be done ahead of any move, most crucially to find a suitable property, but I am incredibly optimistic about this opportunity. The main aim is to provide a desirable head office tailored to CIBSE’s needs, which is in a more central location and allows us to better align with the goals of the organisation (decarbonisation, sustainability and building safety). We recognise that this could be a long journey, and so we will be completely transparent as we go through the process, sharing what has worked as well as what hasn’t, to enable lessons to be learnt. I look forward to travelling on that journey with you.

It is only right to acknowledge that there have also been challenges in 2022 - rising costs, the ‘Great Resignation’, economic uncertainty and the ongoing knock-on from the pandemic have all had an impact. Our achievements, despite the challenges, demonstrate CIBSE’s resilience in adapting to change, whilst retaining our ongoing position as one of the leading professional engineering institutions.

Finally, I would like to personally thank all our volunteers, members and staff, who have contributed to CIBSE’s phenomenal achievements this year. The value each of them provides cannot be overstated and it is enormously important that we acknowledge their contribution. As such, we were delighted to see so many individuals recognised with medals at the President’s Awards Dinners in February and October 2022. Each medal winner is an invaluable role model for the industry, who has gone above and beyond to inspire the next generation to make buildings more efficient, safe and sustainable.

CIBSE has so much potential to grow and extend its reputation. To achieve our goals and potential we will continue to listen to the needs of our community, and so I urge you to get in touch and let us know if there are areas where we can better support you, or if you identify any gaps in our products or knowledge.

We all have huge ambition for the Institution and with your help I look forward to seeing it reach its full potential.

Inspire the next generation

The Presidential challenges of Celebrate, Inspire, Boost, Share and Engage, set out as part of CIBSE’s 125th anniversary celebrations, demonstrate CIBSE’s commitment to supporting, mentoring and advancing the careers of our members and working for the benefit of society. These challenges firmly align with CIBSE’s values of: we lead, we empower, we champion and we inspire.

Celebrate

We celebrate our industry’s talent and achievements through our portfolio of awards.

Collectively, our awards highlight the vast range of projects, specialisms and individuals within the building services sector. From the Building Performance Awards, which showcase those building projects making a real difference to building performance and the drive towards net zero, to the CIBSE gold, silver and bronze medals, recognising those role models who have made significant contributions to CIBSE and the industry, to the Young Engineers Awards celebrating the new emerging industry talent and those who support and nurture them, there is plenty to celebrate. Our Societies, Regions and Groups also recognise outstanding projects, people and activities within their specialisms and areas.

Each award plays its part in advancing our industry, providing a benchmark for others to strive to achieve and encouraging innovation.

Inspire

We inspire our community and wider society to strive for better and safer building performance.

on excellence and share innovation and best practice in building services engineering, as do our Societies, Regions and Groups through their hundreds of events and awards held during the year.

Together these activities maximise the impact of CIBSE’s work and demonstrate the breadth, scope and impact of building services engineering to a highly diverse and worldwide audience. By raising awareness, they help people appreciate the benefits of supporting and inspiring 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.

Inspiring others to join our community and choose engineering as a career is essential if we are to continue the drive for safer, better performing buildings, meet net zero goals and successfully respond to climate change. We encourage committed people from every background. Through the work of our Inclusivity and Diversity Committee and our commitment to diversity, we aim to attract as broad a range of new engineers as possible.

Boost

CIBSE supports, boosts and champions the diversity, breadth and strength of its membership.

We champion and boost the skills and expertise of our members, raising their profile and giving prominence to the most talented engineers, who value good building performance and building safety and are committed to the delivery of net zero and the benefits that offers to all.

CIBSE membership is a mark of professional development, which can be widely and reliably recognised. Through our corporate grades of membership and route to registration, we accredit competence, enabling members to demonstrate that they meet the standards of competence that will need to be evidenced under the new building safety regime.

We rely on our members to help generate standards and knowledge in 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 forming its membership.

Share

By sharing knowledge and training, CIBSE empowers both our members and those who own, operate and occupy buildings. This broad-ranging activity enables people to access the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their potential, demonstrate their competence and serve society.

Knowledge sharing is one of CIBSE’s primary roles and we work with the industry and its clients to serve wider society by developing and publishing internationally recognised guidance and codes.

24

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The SLL published a number of titles in 2022:

The re-write of SLL LG9: Lighting for communal residential buildings, published in August, is the third edition of the guide. It details new types of multiple-occupancy buildings, the latest findings on the effect of lighting on wellbeing, and advice on how to minimise obtrusive light from external lighting. All sections have been updated to reflect the switch to LED light sources.

The rewrite of SLL LG12: Emergency lighting was published in April. The guide gives information on how to comply with the relevant standards and produce documentation, so that the operator of the building can demonstrate compliance with safety legislation.

The new guide, SLL LG22: Lighting for control rooms was published in July. Control rooms can be complex, having many operators, often with an extensive arrangement of screens, and potentially operating 24 hours a day, monitoring safety-critical operations. Establishing the geometry between operators, their screens, larger remote room displays, and the lighting and any windows is crucial. The guide will help those lighting control rooms to create the appropriate lit environment.

The SLL was also involved with and organised a number of events. In May, the Responsible Outdoor Lighting at Night conference (ROLAN 2022) took place online. The conference focused on the issues regarding light pollution and the impact on flora and fauna. The SLL partnered with Dr Karolina M Zielińska-Dąbkowska from Gdansk University of Technology to deliver the event. There were 31 international speakers and 310 delegates. The event was supported by seven industry bodies, who also signed a ROLAN Manifesto for Lighting Professionals (www.cibse.org/policyinsight/news/responsible-outdoor-lighting-at-night-rolan-manifesto-for-lighting-professionals) and four sponsors.

The SLL AGM, awards and Presidential Address took place in May at the People’s History Museum, Manchester and online. The event acknowledged the work of the Society and volunteers and saw the handover of the SLL presidency from Ruth Kelly Waskett to Andrew Bissell. The awards included the SLL Regional Award, Lighting Award and President’s Medal.

SLL Ready Steady Light took place in partnership with Rose Bruford College in October, with 13 teams competing to win the three awards. Team Cundall won the technical award, Team CBG Consultants won the artistic award and Team MID the peer award.

In November, the Society exhibited at LiGHT 22 at the Building Design Centre, London, and at Build2Perform Live at ExCel London – where they launched the rewrite of the SLL Code for Lighting with the Editor in Chief and Project Manager, Sophie Parry. The first edition of the Code was published by the Illuminating Engineering Society of Great Britain in 1936. In those days, it was the sole publication containing all the application metrics for indoor and outdoor lighting, as well as chapters on first principles, calculations and metrology. The new edition sets out the fundamentals of lighting design for the application of light and lighting within the built environment. The 2022 update reflects the rapid development in lighting technologies and research, with advances in LED lighting technology over the last decade making it the dominant light source.

The SLL Young Lighter 2022 final was held online in December. The annual competition is open to anyone with an interest in light and lighting. Scott Kluger, from Hoare Lea, was named 2022 SLL

They provide a wealth of expertise and knowledge to underpin the SLL’s work and promote light and lighting as a key built environment discipline.

Society of Façade Engineering (SFE)

The Society of Façade Engineering (SFE) brings façade 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. The Society provides an important forum for the profession to address the challenges of the building safety programme in relation to façade design and delivery.

This year, the Society welcomed new SFE applicants seeking to show their competence by demonstrating the required level of education and experience to achieve the Society’s professional grades. Applications were received from new members seeking professional recognition and existing members upgrading their membership as they gained further experience, with the final application deadline of the year receiving 17 applications.

In 2022, the SFE also launched its tailored Façade Engineering route, allowing people to apply for MCIBSE CEng status and MSFE status simultaneously. The new route ensures that at least one interviewer on the panel is a façade engineer, familiar with the experience required for façade engineers applying through this route, and offers applicants an example of a façade-related technical report for MCIBSE.

The SFE were able to maintain momentum with both in-person and online events in 2022. Their online webinars included a session on the Maggie’s centre at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, presented by Gavin Kerr of Arup and Chris Aspinall, SFE Chair, and a post-AGM presentation by Rebecca Hartwell of the Glass and Façade Technology research group, titled ( Un)Fixing facades: The pursuit of material efficiency from design to second-life.

There was also a range of in-person events, including a façade walk around central London, and an event focused on the Building Safety Act, featuring presentations from Dr Hywel Davies, Preparing for the Building Safety Act – what do I need to do? and Dr Patrick Ryan titled The PI insurance crisis .

For the first time, the 2022 SFE Façade Design and Engineering Awards joined forces with ZAK World of Facades’ London Conference. With ten categories celebrating sustainability and innovation in the

examination and testing. Successful applicants are awarded a membership grade and given a competency card, which demonstrates their accredited fields of expertise.

In 2022, the ILEVE Membership Grading Committee finalised the new ILEVE Fellow Grade (FILEVE). FILEVE is for individuals who have achieved the most senior grade of ILEVE membership and have made a significant contribution to local exhaust ventilation engineering and are able to show a commitment to CPD. The Institute is pleased to have had its first two members pass the grading process to achieve FILEVE.

In April 2022, in collaboration with the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS), ILEVE held their seventh joint LEV – Extracting the Best Practices event. The theme was design for control, and presentations covered: different dust filter units; a design case study; design elements from the ACGIH manual; drawing standards; and TExT schematics. ILEVE also discussed stack design, women in the LEV profession, and clearance time testing methods. The event was a chance to reinforce the importance of collaboration and building stronger relationships between all interested parties when it comes to LEV.

April also saw the launch of the ILEVE enewsletter. The enewsletter covers upcoming industry events, policy changes, and opinion pieces and offers sponsorship opportunities. It has included articles on LEV user training, new Building Regulation F (ventilation), and an article by Professor Kevin Bampton, Chief Executive of the BOHS and former legal academic, discussing the relationship between occupational hygiene and LEV. The newsletter has an average open rate of 34% - well above industry standard.

ILEVE has various sub-committees, which focus on specific aspects within LEV, this includes TC01 – TExT reports, TC02 – Partnership scheme, TC03 – Recirculating filters, TC04 – On-torch extraction and TC05 – BOHS – BESA qualification, TC06 – Direct reading instruments and TC07 – Stack design. The ILEVE sub-committees create a space where ILEVE members can collaborate with individuals representing other organisations from across industry such as the BOHS, Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), Safety Assessment Federation (SAFed), Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Unite the Union.

In 2022, the ILEVE Technical Committee looked at standards for the supply, installation, servicing, testing, commissioning, and use of fume cupboards, recirculating fume cupboards and microbiological safety cabinets and invited members and other industry bodies and individuals to peer review their Competency Matrix. The Matrix sets out the job roles associated with the purchasing and safe use of these systems, the knowledge, skills and qualifications required by persons undertaking these roles and the sources of information and training available.

The Institute had an exhibitor stand at the Manufacturing Technologies Association’s biennial event MACH, at the NEC in Birmingham. The event attracts 25,000 visitors and more than 600 exhibitors. ILEVE’s presence at the event allowed them to interact with companies and organisations from across the industry and gave ILEVE members and CIBSE staff a chance to attract potential new members.

In June, ILEVE held their 2022 AGM and Technical Day at the HSE laboratory in Buxton. As well as confirming the ILEVE Steering Committee for the next 12 months in line with the Institute’s rules, the

day also provided ILEVE members with high-quality technical presentations. Talks covered: LEV noise with Chris Stell, Specialist Inspector (Noise and Vibration) at HSE, and a presentation titled Controls on plating tanks by Matt Coldwell, Occupational Hygienist at HSE.

Society of Digital Engineering (SDE)

The Society of Digital Engineering (SDE) provides a forum for those involved in digitalising the built environment, whether as designers, contractors, manufacturers, clients, facilities managers or software vendors. Membership is open to all involved in digital engineering, building information modelling (BIM), information management, software for design and analysis of buildings, computer aided facilities management, and other related activity. It provides professional recognition to digital engineers and a route to CIBSE membership and registration with the Engineering Council. The SDE continues to work closely with the CIBSE Digital Engineering Steering Group, which works to create the products and services used by members.

In 2022, the Society elected Andrew Krebs as its new Chair. The Chair and SDE Executive Committee have been working hard to rejuvenate the SDE Executive Committee and wider steering group following the pandemic and to create an SDE strategy to align with CIBSE’s Societies Strategy. This will incorporate feedback gathered from the SDE member survey carried out in August.

2022 also saw the long-awaited return of the SDE Digital Awards, held at Build2Perform Live in November. The awards celebrate progress and excellence in digital engineering. This year’s categories were designed to recognise the progress of digitalisation across built environment professions, recognising those who are contributing to the digitalisation of our work, where we live and how we experience it, including technicians, engineers, developers, designers, contractors, manufacturers or any group or team who are making a difference in their field. The Society received high-quality entries across all seven categories. The overall Digital Champion award was won by Atkins, member of the SNC-Lavalin Group for their project, Decarbonomics.

The SDE has continued to work on ongoing projects, such as Product Data Templates (PDTs) and Symbols, and helped to create automation products, such as Embodied Carbon Calculators , for the UK and Australia and New Zealand. These digital tools are associated with the CIBSE TM65 suite of publications on embodied carbon.

Looking forward to 2023, the SDE are especially keen to make further progress on their SDE Partner company membership scheme and developing professional, graded membership classes.

CIBSE Patrons

The CIBSE Patrons are often referred to as the ‘corporate supporters’ of CIBSE, as they are the group of businesses that collaborate to provide financial, moral and technical support to the Institution. Some of the key aims of the Patrons are to increase recruitment and retention of engineers in the industry, and to support CIBSE in the development of knowledge, technical information and resources, encouraging the use of best practice in areas such as sustainability and health and safety.

30

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The Patrons Committee meets regularly to discuss future plans and projects in which they can develop and carry out their aims.

In 2022, the Patrons established a new strategy with a focus on using their funds to support CIBSE activities that target education and STEM outreach in schools, as well as career support for those just starting out in their engineering journey.

The Patrons’ annual House of Lords Lunch was held in April, after a three-year hiatus, and is a key part of the Patrons’ and indeed CIBSE’s year. It was a fantastic event and provided incredible networking opportunities. The attendees also received a technical policy update from Dr Hywel Davies, which was centred around the Building Safety Act.

Engaging with the Young Engineers’ Network (YEN) is a central part of the Patrons’ aims, and this was apparent in their support for the YEN Careers Day and Gala in October. This landmark event for CIBSE and the YEN provided career opportunities for young and newly qualified engineers, followed by an evening celebration. It was an overwhelming success, and the support and presence of the Patrons was invaluable.

The Patrons have also been working with the newly relaunched Fellows Network. The Patrons Committee saw this as a fantastic chance to engage and collaborate with some of the most experienced and knowledgeable minds in the industry, to further the aims of both committees and CIBSE. The Patrons have committed to support the Fellows Network, something expressed by Patrons Chair Scott Mason in his address at the Fellows Network Launch in December. This collaboration is incredibly exciting, and both parties are determined to engage with the YEN to encourage more young engineers to join the industry.

Looking ahead to 2023, the Patrons are committed to furthering their aims. They will continue to work closely with the Fellows, as the Fellows Network continues to build momentum and engage with members of our industry. The YEN will also be integral to 2023 for the Patrons, and they will continue their commitment to engage with and support the bright young talents of building services.

They continued their collaborations and enjoyed working together to spread knowledge of their practices. Some of the most impressive events were:

2022 also saw the launch of some exciting new projects, the first being the Retrofit in Heritage subcommittee, which came about due to high interest in this topic, and thanks to the commitment of dedicated volunteers, such as Amy Punter and Daniel McNaughton. The sub-committee began their journey with a series of three seminars, the last of which had 150 registrations, and resulted in an inperson session at Build2Perform Live.

The Building Simulation Group saw a return to the in-person Building Simulation Awards, which took place at Build2Perform Live. Led by Events Secretary Alexandros Chalkias, the entire committee pulled together to make the awards happen. Congratulations to Daniel Sanchez-Garcia, who won the Building Simulation Award, and Shweta Salvankar, who won the Young Modeller Award.

We have also seen great collaboration between Groups this year. The Facilities Management Group and IT and Controls Group held a joint in-person event on the importance and value of apprenticeships. The event was a great example of Groups working together to engage young engineers and young people looking to make a start in building services engineering.

The Facilities Management Group also held their Building Safety Act 2022, Fire Safety Act 2022 and BS 8644-1 2022 event at Sodexo’s office. This was an informative and very well attended event with keynote speaker Dame Judith Hackitt. Dame Judith was a leading figure in the creation of the Building Safety Act and her knowledge and expertise on this is unrivalled. The event was a unique opportunity to hear about the key aspects of this critical area for our industry. It also featured in the following edition of the HSE Building Safety ebulletin, with Dame Judith welcoming the work of the Group to raise awareness of the Act amongst the facilities management community.

In November, the Lifts Group’s annual seminar took place at CIBSE’s office in Balham. It was a successful and enjoyable day, with detailed and insightful talks from a variety of industry professionals, including Dr Gina Barney, whose presentation was very well received and her wealth of knowledge and experience, accumulated over a lifetime in the industry, were clearly on show.

The Intelligent Buildings Group hosted a number of webinars in 2022, all attracting a large number of attendees. One of the most popular was their webinar, What is artificial intelligence when it comes to architecture?, chaired by Dr Yangang Xing and featuring an insightful presentation from Dr Danyal Ahmed, which attracted an audience of 225.

Inclusivity and Diversity Committee

CIBSE launched a new Inclusivity and Diversity Committee in 2022, with the aim of increasing diversity within the building services sector.

The Committee replaces the Diversity and Inclusion Panel and will be chaired by the Immediate Past President. The inaugural committee chair is Kevin Kelly.

The Committee aims to create greater awareness of diversity and inclusion within CIBSE membership and volunteering groups as well as influence the wider building services industry. It also intends to provide greater opportunities for those from less represented groups to become senior volunteers and award nominees.

There are four sub-panels which will feed into the Committees work. These are Women in Building Services Engineering (WiBSE), chaired by Annette Ash, and three new panels representing different communities: LGBTQI+, chaired by David Stevens, ethnic minority, chaired by Hakeem Majanju, and neurodiverse communities within CIBSE.

Fellows Network

The CIBSE Fellows Network was relaunched in December 2022. Driven and chaired by Geoff Prudence, who was also awarded an Honorary Fellowship at the 2022 AGM, the new Fellows Network is a fantastic opportunity for some of the industry’s greatest and most experienced minds to be more active within CIBSE and provide mentorship for younger generations and the rest of the building services community. The Network was officially relaunched on 7 December at the Passmore Centre, London South Bank University, where the future aims of the Network were explained. These include: hosting masterclasses and webinars, inspiring younger engineers to apply for Fellowship, and engaging with the newly launched CIBSE Mentoring Platform. The Network already has an active committee and there are more opportunities for other Fellows to join this in the future.

Share

In 2022, CIBSE produced 21 new guidance titles, which matches the 2021 total. Nine new authors have also been introduced to the process of writing and releasing guidance, and CIBSE is steadily growing our base of member volunteers.

As always, our most popular knowledge items are CIBSE Guides and new publications.

Notable releases

The most popular new guidance in 2022 was Heat pump installations for large non-domestic buildings (AM17), with 1839 downloads, and more than 1000 people attending the related #GrowYourKnowledge webinar.

The updated edition of Evaluating operational energy use at the design stage (TM54) provides a response to the climate emergency, and the requirement to deliver high-performing buildings while meeting net zero carbon targets. It was also very popular, with more than 1500 downloads in 12 months and nearly 800 attendees to the associated #GrowYourKnowledge webinar.

To support the requirements for airtightness testing in Approved Document F of the Building Regulations in England, a revised version of Testing buildings for air leakage (TM23) provides guidance that links not only to energy and carbon performance, but also to air quality and occupant comfort. It has been downloaded nearly 900 times, and more than 500 people attended the #GrowYourKnowledge webinar.

CIBSE’s guidance on embodied carbon also developed substantially in 2022. This builds on the initial guidance in Embodied carbon in building services: A calculation methodology (TM65), which was released in early 2021. The focus in 2022 has been on internationalising the TM65 methodology. To that end, CIBSE released guidance on adapting the methodology worldwide. Using the embodied carbon methodology outside the UK (TM65LA) has two aims: firstly, to detail the process required to define embodied carbon coefficients for use in one project; and secondly, to detail the process required to create a robust local addendum for any region, which can be used on multiple projects. Using the TM65 methodology in Australia and New Zealand (TM65ANZ) provides a prototype for other regions to follow. It is likely that local addenda for other regions will be developed in the future.

Other notable Knowledge releases in 2022 include:

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 the publisher Sage. The journals contain high-quality articles on the latest research and critical reviews of the latest literature in their fields and they continue to benefit from rising impact factors, demonstrating their importance to the research community. BSER&T is published six times a year and LR&T eight times a year to meet demand.

Available to all CIBSE members as a benefit of membership, 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.

2022 was a time of transition for BSER&T . The Journal welcomed Professor Lynne Jack, a past President of CIBSE and Director of Research at Heriot-Watt University, as the new Chair of the Editorial Board, and also saw the end of the tenure of Professor Tim Dwyer as the Managing Editor. Under Tim’s stewardship, the Journal has embraced digital production technology and survived the COVID-19 pandemic, whilst seeing its impact factor improve year-on-year, now standing at 2.5. This steady increase is a testament to the commitment and expertise of the Editorial Board and reviewers and highlights the increasing quality and relevance of the articles published in the Journal. The Institution is grateful to Tim for his work as Managing Editor and outstanding contribution to knowledge sharing.

In May the Journal published a special issue, comprising a selection of papers developed and subsequently peer reviewed from those delivered at the eleventh annual, virtual, CIBSE Technical Symposium in 2021. The selected papers demonstrate the application of engineering knowledge, know-how and innovation in the creation of safe environments with reduced environmental impacts across a range of building services applications.

LR&T continues to enjoy a high impact factor and attracts excellent submissions from around the lighting world. It continues to publish a wide range of papers highlighting the research that is currently being undertaken into light and its application in the built environment. There continues to be a healthy focus on the interaction between lighting and human behaviour, as well as attention to the ongoing public debate about the role of public lighting in pedestrian safety and its potential influence on incidents of violence against women in public spaces. These discussions highlight the relevance of the work of lighting professionals to wider social issues and the importance of professional lighting design based on evidence and data, and not just on public perceptions and reactions.

In November the Journal published a special issue on the topic of Lighting Design Objectives (LIDOs), promoting lighting design approaches which extend beyond traditional considerations to include ambient illuminance and perceived quality. This was the first LR&T special issue and prompted significant debate and discussion of this important topic.

LR&T reaches a global audience with a readership drawn from a range of professional and academic backgrounds, further enhancing CIBSE’s role as the premier publisher of lighting guidance in the UK.

Engage

Our Royal Charter establishes the role of the Institution to support ‘the art, science and practice of building services engineering by providing the public and our members with first class information and education services.’ A primary purpose for CIBSE is therefore as a leading provider of authoritative guidance on the principles and practices of building safety and performance. CIBSE guidance enables engineers to keep up-to-date with the very latest requirements and professional solutions to meet their clients’ requirements and comply with regulations relating to engineering competence.

Since the pandemic we operate in a fast-changing professional landscape, requiring digital delivery and creation of knowledge and guidance, and online provision of training and knowledge.

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 a number of new titles released in 2022 on embodied carbon and heat pump systems for buildings.

The regulatory changes now being implemented in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the Building Safety Act represent the most fundamental reform of the building safety and control system since the Second World War. CIBSE is 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.

Given the impact of buildings on everyone, our response to changing climate and its consequences and to the building safety regime are absolutely central to the role of the Institution and our delivery of benefit to society.

COVID-19

CIBSE’s ongoing response to the COVID-19 crisis continued to be highlighted in our work with the Royal Academy of Engineering for the Chief Scientific Adviser on delivering infection-resilient environments. We have continued to work closely with the Academy on its second phase report on the longer-term requirements to maintain buildings in a state that reduces their contribution to the transmission of disease, not just in a pandemic but in everyday working life.

We have continued to contribute to government advisory groups and provide evidence to government and the devolved administrations on the role of ventilation and the importance of competent building management in keeping buildings operating routinely and regularly in a safe and healthy manner.

Building safety

The Building Safety Act 2022 received Royal Assent in April 2022. Implementation of the Act will deliver the most fundamental reform of the legislation relating to the construction and operation of buildings in England in 80 years 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.

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 Act will be supported by a range of further legislation and two major consultations were published in 2022. CIBSE worked closely with other sector groups through Actuate UK, and with the Construction Industry Council and Construction Leadership Council to develop comprehensive responses to these. Whilst absolutely supporting the intention of the new regime to deliver safer buildings, we provided detailed feedback on some of the practical challenges posed.

It is essential that we continue to communicate clearly and at every opportunity that the new regime 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. This also requires us to work with our members and the wider industry to deliver the competence frameworks to enable competence to be assessed and evidenced and to deliver broader guidance on how the industry can satisfy the functional requirements of the Building Regulations.

CIBSE is actively involved in the development of the 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 developing the golden thread, 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.

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

We continue to cover the industry change agenda through CIBSE Journal , on our website and through regular events. In September we held the first in a series of events providing detailed insight into the new regime and these will continue in 2023, providing further information as it evolves.

The Building Safety Act creates a new national Building Safety Regulator (BSR), who will oversee all aspects of building regulation and also regulate the building control profession. The Act makes significant amendments to the Building Act 1984. The Act 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.

*the Act will initially apply to occupied residential buildings with seven or more storeys or over 18m in height with more than one residence

We are actively engaged with government in the development of the new regime and the measures that will enable it to operate. Working closely with sector colleagues in Actuate UK, we continue to contribute to the work of the Construction Leadership Council on Building Safety, which seeks to coordinate the industry response to the Act.

Professional competence

The Act 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.

A statutory function of the new BSR is to ‘facilitate improvement in the competence of industry and of building inspectors’ The BSR has a duty to give appropriate ‘assistance and encouragement’ to those in the industry or members of a profession to improve their competence.

The Act 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. CIBSE is working closely with the Engineering Council and other professional bodies to enable everyone working on buildings to demonstrate that they are 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 will be a duty not to accept an appointment for work for which a person or organisation is not competent.

To support these new requirements CIBSE has supported the work of the British Standards Institution (BSI) to develop an ‘overarching framework’ for industry competence and more detailed specifications for the three new dutyholder roles of Principal Designer, Principal Contractor and Building Safety.

39

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

CIBSE provides a one day training course which introduces participants to the Building Safety Act, the new competence regime, requirements for higher-risk buildings and the implications of the Act, which is delivered by senior staff and members who are actively involved in the reform process.

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 has worked with the Centre for Window and Cladding Technology (CWCT) to develop further guidance on the current regulations and the Society and Centre continue to review and update the guidance in the light of emerging information and further government requirements relating to the ban as well as questions emerging from the industry.

Net zero carbon building

With the formation of the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard consortium in 2022, there has been significant activity throughout the year to develop the standard to drive the net zero carbon agenda. CIBSE is a founder member of the consortium and has invested significantly in the work of the Technical Steering Group and the activity of the Governance Board. CIBSE is working with likeminded professional bodies to deliver a robust standard that will enable zero carbon buildings to be clearly identified and recognised across all parts of the property sector.

CIBSE continues to produce guidance on decarbonisation of buildings, covering heat pumps and electrification of buildings and also developing our guidance on embodied carbon and the circular economy. CIBSE’s knowledge is a key tool, providing building designers, constructors and operators with the guidance they need to design, build, manage maintain and operate low carbon buildings.

Our expertise is vital to setting appropriate standards for future commercial and public buildings and our homes to provide safe, healthy, low carbon places to live, work, study and spend leisure time.

Following the introduction of the latest changes to Parts F and L of the Building Regulations and 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 continue to support the developments needed to create meaningful Future Homes and Future Buildings Standards.

We have continued to work with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to develop policy for low carbon heating and to encourage progress on a scheme to measure and disclose the operational energy use of commercial buildings outside the public sector.

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 as well as the relevant government departments, which include Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), BEIS and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

CIBSE also collaborates with other organisations on climate change guidance and policy, including the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), Low Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and we have supported the development of key RAEng reports on net zero during the year. As a full member of the Construction Industry Council (CIC), CIBSE is actively engaged in CIC policy related work, including the Climate Change Panel, where our Head of Sustainability, Dr Julie Godefroy, participates on CIBSE’s behalf.

CIBSE is contributing to implementation 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, agreed in June 2021. The plan commits all the institutions to significant actions to reduce the emissions relating to our activities.

In 2022 CIBSE published the third annual update to its climate change action plan, first published in 2019 and which also informed development of the CIC's framework action plan. We are now developing our own plans, which will also be taken into consideration when making decisions around CIBSE’s new office.

CIBSE is a key contributor to the work being undertaken for 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. CIBSE is also actively engaged in the technical working groups for both the Future Homes Standard and the Future Buildings Standard. Taken together, these are a key package of opportunities to shape future low and zero carbon building.

In 2022 we supported various UK and devolved administration working groups. This again shows the direct relevance of CIBSE's work to improving the performance of new and existing 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 2022 we played a leading role in work on the Building Safety Act, in particular on the definition and principles for the golden thread of information, working with the Building Regulations Advisory Committee (BRAC). We are also contributing to the Golden Thread Initiative (GTI), through which a large group of professionals is developing case study material to support the implementation of the golden thread in practice.

41

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

We played a leading role in the development writing of BS 8644-1:2022 ( 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. Following publication of the standard in 2022 there is an ongoing programme of training, awareness raising and further development to support implementation of the standard by industry.

CIBSE continues to contribute significantly to the series of international standards ISO 19650, Organization of information about construction works . These enshrine many of the principles of the UK BIM Framework into international standards, supporting the use of UK expertise around the world. 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 released new digital tools for CIBSE, including the embodied carbon calculator for building services products, based on the methodology detailed in TM65: Embodied carbon in building services: A calculation methodology . 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 , which is currently in a beta testing and feedback phase, working closely with leading industry players. We continue to develop and expand this guidance which supports the development of the Built Environment Carbon Database, in which CIBSE is an active partner.

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 programme. The event aims to create a unique forum in which to share experiences and develop networks.

After the success of two Technical Symposia during the pandemic, we returned to an in-person event in 2022. This was hosted at London South Bank University and featured two days of highquality peer reviewed technical presentations on a wide range of topics, with around 200 attending over the two days.

The 2023 event is planned for 21-22 April in Glasgow. Over 70 full papers have been invited for presentation.

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

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. This involved a major response to the consultation on implementation of the Act, on which we led the joint response from Actuate UK for the building services sector as well as making significant contributions to the responses from the Construction industry Council and Construction Leadership Council.

CIBSE remains absolutely committed to supporting the reform programme. Staff and senior volunteers work closely with government and the wider industry through the CIC Building Safety Committee and the Construction Leadership Council Building Safety workstream. We are actively involved in the work of the Engineering Competence Working Group of the Industry Competence Steering Group, with George Adams chairing the working group.

CIBSE has also established a Building Safety Working Group to oversee CIBSE input to these activities and provide a means to assess industry requirements to support full implementation of the Act in practice.

In 2022, formal responses were submitted to the following consultations:

A full record of CIBSE responses to consultations is available on the closed consultations section of the CIBSE website: CIBSE - Building Services News and Policy.

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 brings together policymakers and critical engineering expertise to inform policy responses to issues of national importance, giving policymakers a route to expert advice from across the whole profession, and the profession a unified voice on shared challenges. It gives policymakers access to excellent engineering expertise for national 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 in July 2021. Since then work has continued on the future requirements for infection resilient environments with a second report to Sir Patrick Vallance in July 2022, which was referenced in the government plan for ‘living with COVID’. Sadly, the death in 2020 of Awaab Ishak, widely reported in 2022 (www.cibsejournal.com/opinion/ventilation-a-matter-of-life-and-death-2/ ) after the coroner ruled that his death was in part a consequence of inadequate ventilation, has demonstrated the ongoing relevance and importance of effective and adequate ventilation in our homes.

The Phase II report demonstrated how we can improve indoor environments and make them more resilient to airborne vectors of ill health at all times, and shows the particular benefits this will deliver in the next pandemic. Without action to improve internal environments then the next pandemic will once again impose high financial and health costs on society, and constrain our ability to address other challenges, such as climate change. The reports have had significant impact on policy and are available on the Cabinet Office website:

Recognition for Technical Director

In November, Dr Hywel Davies, CIBSE Technical Director, was awarded the BESA Gold Award for his contribution to the industry, underlining the impact of the Institution in the industry over many years.

Future plans

Celebrate

After the success of both the newly launched Society of Façade Engineering Awards and the long running Building Performance Awards, we will continue to celebrate and showcase the immense talent and achievements of our industry. We aim to grow attendance at both events and ensure they are fully aligned with CIBSE’s key priorities, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and building safety.

Our Societies, Regions and Groups are the cornerstones of CIBSE and this year saw the Society of Digital Engineering and the Building Simulation Group host their awards at Build2Perform Live.

Our awards will continue to reflect our diverse community, celebrating the entire range of our members’ achievements and contributions.

We aim to widen the reach of the Institution’s medal awards by promoting the nominations process more widely and seeking a larger, more diverse pool of candidates.

Inspire

In 2023 we will continue to champion the expertise and impact of CIBSE’s work, that of our members and the wider building services engineering community, with a focus on pushing out our key messages in the press and our social media channels. Through this outreach, we aim to increase awareness outside the building services engineering community of the value of the work that we collectively do and our commitment to improving the safety, performance, health and sustainability of the built environment.

Having visibility in both national and trade press is a valuable tool in raising awareness of our work and the work of our members, and we will continue to deliver content in CIBSE’s key policy areas to help amplify our position as the authority on building services engineering and demonstrate our technical expertise.

A major piece of work for 2023 will be the brand refresh project. The Marketing Team will work with the CIBSE Voice Strategy Group and the Communications Committee to deliver a CIBSE brand that better reflects the aspirations of our members for a modern, adaptive, and inspirational Institution.

It is also essential that we show how we are rising to the challenges of our changing climate. To this end, we will highlight how the CIBSE Climate Action Plan propels change and encourages engagement with climate action in the wider industry, stakeholders, members and staff.

We enjoyed significant growth in 2022 across all our social media channels, and we aim to maintain this momentum by increasing our social engagement and expanding our use of video content across all our platforms and through partnerships, to extend our reach to potential members.

Boost

Supporting engineers into CIBSE membership and professional registration remains at the centre of what the Membership Department does.

Initiatives for 2023 include:

45

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Share

CIBSE’s knowledge output is respected and recognised globally, and we will continue to work with our members and wider industry to deliver best practice knowledge, guidance and learning. By working with relevant experts, we will maintain our wide-ranging programme of knowledge development ensuring that our guidance supports the delivery of a safe and healthy net zero carbon built environment. CIBSE will continue to be a primary source of peer reviewed technical guidance, and quality, technically-led events for the built environment sector.

Throughout the year we will review and develop guidance 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.

Our programme of industry events and training will be developed, ensuring it continues to deliver technically robust and authoritative content to support the continuing development and maintenance of knowledge by professionals in the sector.

Working with our specialist Divisions and Special Interest Groups we will identify requirements for new guidance and update and revise existing titles. Our guidance leads to direct improvements in the safety, comfort and performance of buildings, occupants and the wider community, and so we will review how it is best disseminated across the industry, policy makers, the media and to point-ofuse.

Collectively these activities will help our members and wider industry maintain and enhance their competence.

Engage

Evidence of the gap in performance between building design and delivery continues to emerge. COVID-19 exposed widespread failings of ventilation provision to meet current requirements and a lack of resilience of our buildings.

The tragic case of Awaab Ishak further demonstrates the systemic challenges of providing adequately ventilated, healthy accommodation for many in the rented sector, and underlines the life safety implications of the ventilation and energy efficiency elements of the building regulations regime. These come alongside continuing revelations about a lack of compliance with the fire safety requirements of the regulations in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. CIBSE will continue to focus on building performance to satisfy health, safety and environmental requirements.

To meet recent commitments to delivering net zero carbon buildings that are safe, properly ventilated and comfortable then the deficit between design ambition and realised outcomes must be addressed. There is an urgent need to deliver improved performance of our built environment, not just in design and construction, but throughout the life cycle of operation and maintenance.

The building safety and net zero agendas both require serious consideration of procurement models. CIBSE is committed to working with other relevant professional bodies in the industry to identify what is needed to better align procurement practices with the delivery of safe, sustainable and effective buildings.

We need urgent progress in measuring and rating the operational performance of buildings in use across the private sector. CIBSE is a founding partner of the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard and is fully committed to working with the partnership and with the construction, property and finance sectors to enable the successful introduction of the standard. We will continue to work with the NABERS UK consortium to deliver this scheme for the office market. We will also continue to press government to finally deliver a meaningful scheme to rate the operational performance of commercial buildings. These standards are essential to enable the transition of the UK property sector to net zero and the role of building engineering services is critical to the achievement of net zero buildings.

The focus on compliance that the Building Safety Regulator will bring should help to address concerns about performance. CIBSE will work closely with the new Regulator, government, BSI, the Construction Leadership Council and other industry bodies in support of building safety reform and will continue to support the response to the inquiry into the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the building safety reform and the new Building Safety Regulator in every appropriate way.

We recognise the importance of the ongoing reforms to industry regulations, competence, practice, procurement, enforcement and guidance. To this end we will 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.

Certification

CIBSE Certification Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary company of CIBSE. The organisational structure has a Company Board, known as the Certification Board, and a Steering Group and operates with a team of six.

CIBSE Certification continues to operate the certification of personnel schemes within the UK, covering Low Carbon Consultants (LCCs), Low Carbon Energy Assessors (LCEAs) for non-domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), Display Energy Certificates (DECs), Air Conditioning Inspectors (ACI), ESOS Lead Assessors, Heat Networks Consultants and Section 63 Advisors for Scotland. The Low Carbon Consultants and Low Carbon Energy Assessors for the production of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Display Energy Certificates (DECs) Schemes are accredited to BS EN ISO/IEC 17024:2012 Conformity assessment – General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons by UKAS.

CIBSE Certification also certifies organisations to management systems ISO 9001 Quality management , ISO 14001 Environmental management , ISO 50001 Energy management and ISO 45001 Occupational health and safety . This part of the business is accredited by UKAS to BS EN ISO/IEC 17021:2015 Conformity assessment – required for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems by UKAS.

Personnel Schemes business

Personnel Schemes registrations have remained steady and the business is seeing new applications for various schemes. Lodgement credit sales increased for 2022 and were 13.8% higher than 2021. To operate within the personnel sector, CIBSE Certification has been given a letter of authority by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). Their annual audit was completed successfully, and they received the following comment:

‘The Auditors have noted in their report that CIBSE has gone over and above the requirements of the SORs, which include auditing 100% of their members against the minimum annual Continuous Professional Development (CPD) requirement; and checks on their members’ right to work in the UK. CIBSE have also implemented a well-structured database. Their ongoing work on smart rules was seen as an exemplar, which other Schemes would benefit from, and the introduction of a digital ID card to all their members makes the checking and validation of membership an active process’.

Management systems business

We have extended our certification offering of management systems to include ISO 45001 and are awaiting UKAS accreditation in early 2023 for this standard. In 2022, our management systems business revenue increased by 50%. We have expanded our scope of work and are now auditing in locations within Europe, the Middle East and USA, alongside our continued expansion within the UK.

The vision for CIBSE Certification remains for it to be the go-to certification body for the building services engineering sector and beyond, both in terms of certification of persons and management systems in business.

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 2022 was £8.5M, representing an increase of £1.6M on 2021. Most revenue streams across the Group improved in 2022. The most significant increase was seen in the trading subsidiaries, which grew by £1.3M from 2021 levels. In addition, a bequest from the late Liz Peck was received in 2022, which the Trustees have agreed to designate as a separate fund in the upcoming year, in honour of her contribution to the organisation.

As a direct result of increased income and following inflationary pressures, expenditure increased over the year to £7.70M from £6.61M in 2021. The Executive maintains focus on improving margins wherever possible, without impacting further growth.

The overall result of the above was a surplus before gains on investments of £767k, compared with a gain of £279k in the previous year. Challenging market conditions saw an unrecognised loss on investments in 2022 of £296k, resulting in a net surplus of £471k.

There was an actuarial loss on the Defined Benefit Pension Scheme of £198k, as a result of investment performance, actuarial assumptions and the effect of the asset ceiling. The Institution continues to fund the recovery plan agreed following the triennial valuation of the Scheme carried out on 1st April 2020.

As a result, funds increased by £273k from £3.02M in 2021 to £3.29M in 2022.

The Group cash balance decreased from £1.91M in 2021 to £1.68M, having repaid the £500k Corona Virus Interruption Loan in full.

52

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

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 total funds of £3.02M (2021: £2.57M), being restricted funds of £132k (2021: £102k), general funds of £2.89M (2021: £2.47M) and free reserves of £0.94M (2021: £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 Group’s revenues continue to increase with significant growth experienced in the trading subsidiaries. Membership income, which accounts for over half of the Group’s revenues, is up on previous year. The Institution continued to worked hard to demonstrate member benefits in an online environment and this was supported through access to substantial and essential knowledge provided by CIBSE, and an ever-growing presence in key government consultations.

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 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.

53

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Risk Management

It is the responsibility of the Board, as Trustees of the Institution, to examine the major operational and business risks which the Institution faces and to establish appropriate systems to manage any significant risks.

Risk is assessed as part of the consideration of all new projects, and the Finance, Risk, Audit & Governance Sub Committee (FRAG) 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. FRAG reviews the risk register at all four of its meetings to ensure a watching brief is kept and agile planning is in place.

The Board has continued to consider a loss of relevance to the membership and failure to develop and maintain appropriate and relevant content for the Knowledge Portal, as major operational risks to the Institution and its subsidiaries. To address the first of these risks, the Institution 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 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.

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 Nominations Sub-Committee is required to nominate candidates to the Board each year for the forthcoming vacancies for President Elect, the appointments of Honorary Treasurer and Vice President and for upcoming members of the Board. All newly appointed Trustees are provided with an Induction

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 SubCommittee (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, Knowledge Management Committee and the Regional Liaison Committee) report to the Board and have delegated authority within their spheres of activity.

A governance review carried out in 2022 established that our processes are robust and determined that reviewing Governance will be ongoing and iterative, not periodic with the typical five yearly intervals. Governance is now a prominent agenda item at the FRAG Committee meetings, with Dave Cooper who chaired the Review, and is the Trustee with the lead role on Governance, now sitting on the FRAG Committee and ensuring that it is kept up-to-date and consulted on the issues being, or to be, addressed.

There is a further Review currently under way into the processes and management of documentation and the version control practice required by CIBSE.

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 Ltd 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.

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 2022 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:

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.

58

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:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 57, 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.

59

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO MEMBERS OF THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud (continued)

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from 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 risks of irregularities, sample testing 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 audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers is a charity registered in England and Wales, registration number 278104. It is governed by its Royal Charter and By-laws which were awarded in 1976 and last amended in 2010. The registered office is 222 Balham High Road, London, SW12 9BS.

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

2.1 Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

2.2 Going concern

Having reviewed the Group’s forecasts and cashflow projections, the Trustees believe there to be no material uncertainties about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees believe this will be aided by recent and upcoming changes to regulation within the construction industry, in view of the Group’s ability to influence those changes and assist in that transition, alongside significant reductions to the Group’s cost base.

The Trustees believe there is adequate cash and liquid investments to meet their liabilities as they fall due for a least a year from the date of the signing of these accounts. As such the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the annual financial statements.

The most significant areas of judgement and key assumptions that affect the items in the financial statements relate to the estimation of the defined benefit pension scheme’s assets and liabilities (see Note 2.18 and Note 20).

2.3 Financial statements of the Institution and its trading subsidiaries

The financial statements include the consolidation of CIBSE Services Limited, CIBSE Certification Limited and The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers Hong Kong Limited (CIBSE Hong Kong Limited), all wholly owned subsidiaries of the Institution.

No separate Statement of Financial Activities has been presented for the Institution. The results of the Institution for the year ended 31 December 2022 are included in Note 17.

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.3 Financial statements of the Institution and its trading subsidiaries (continued)

The Institution has taken advantage of the disclosure exemption permitted by FRS 102 of the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows to not disclose a charity-only Statement of Cash Flows.

2.4 Funds

The Institution has divided its funds into categories according to their nature and purpose as follows:

Unrestricted funds

Funds available for the Institution to pursue all of its objectives under its Royal Charter and comprise:

General fund

This represents the undesignated accumulated surpluses from funds available for the general objectives of the Institution.

Designated fund

Funds designated to pursue a particular objective or group of objectives under the Royal Charter and comprise:

Research Fund

This fund has the objectives of raising and designating funds for the purpose of enabling research to advance the art, science and practice of building services engineering.

Education Fund

CIBSE established this fund with the objective of raising and designating funds to enable CIBSE to further education in the art, science and practice of building services engineering.

Richard Tully Family Publication Fund

This fund was established by the designation of a gift from Richard E J Tully, with the objective of funding awards to encourage the continued publication of good engineering practice in the profession of building services engineering.

Domestic Building Services Panel Fund

This fund has the objectives of raising and designating funds for the purpose of enabling research to advance the art, science and practice of building services engineering for Domestic Heating publications.

Society of Light and Lighting Fund

This fund has the objective of funding the operations of the Society of Light and Lighting Fund.

Ken Dale Fund

This fund was established following receipt of a legacy from past president Ken Dale designated to advance the art, science and practice of building services engineering in his name.

Graham Manly Fund

This fund was established following receipt of a legacy from past president, Graham Manly. The fund has been designated for the use and promotion of Building Services Engineering in schools.

Liz Peck Fund

This fund was established following receipt of a legacy from past Society of Light and Lighting (SLL) president, Liz Peck. The fund has been designated to be used to inspire and educate young adults and those at the earlier stages of their lighting career and will be managed by the SLL.

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.4 Funds (continued)

Restricted funds

These funds have been received by the Institution with specific restrictions on their use within the objectives of its Royal Charter and comprised:

Patrons Fund

This fund was formed to provide a base for financing activities of concern to the building services industry as a whole, for which adequate funds were not available within the unrestricted funds of the Institution, and to provide liaison between the Institution and its members with the commercial organisations involved in building services engineering.

2.5 Branches, groups and regions

The activities of branches, groups and regions, together with their assets and liabilities are incorporated within these accounts.

2.6 Income

Subscriptions

Subscriptions due are treated as income for the periods to which they relate. Subscriptions received in respect of future years are carried forward in the financial statements as deferred income until the relevant subscription year.

Legacies

Legacies are included in the Statement of Financial Activities where probate was granted prior to the balance sheet date and a distribution is considered probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Donations and grants

Donations and grants are included in the financial statements when receivable.

Volunteers

CIBSE as an organisation relies heavily on its volunteers to allow it to carry out the wide variety of work that it does, across a range of fields within building services. Attempting to provide such in-depth knowledge for an industry as diverse as building services is an enormous undertaking, and would be impossible without the hundreds of experts who give their time and resources to the Institution and work to remain on the forefront of technology.

Carrying out a variety of roles on a voluntary basis for CIBSE, from contributing to technical papers, to serving on the board and deciding strategy, to helping at events and with media requests, the volunteers give substantial resources at a time when the industry has never been more stretched. However, as it is impractical to place a monetary value on the volunteers' contribution due to the absence of a reliable measurement basis, the contribution of volunteers are not included as income in the financial statements.

Fees received for charitable services

These represent amounts receivable in respect of goods or services during the year.

Investment income and gains

Investment income, including any tax recoverable thereon, is included in the financial statements in the year in which they are receivable. Investment gains and losses are incorporated in the financial statements as they occur. Unrealised gains and losses arising from the valuation of investments, together with any movements in such gains are separately identified within the financial statements.

67

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.7 Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis and is recognised where there is a legal and constructive obligation to pay for the expenditure.

Charitable expenditure comprises expenses incurred on the defined charitable purposes of the Institution. Cost of raising funds comprises expenses incurred in enhancing and maintaining the public image of the Institution and expenditure incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Governance costs comprise expenses incurred in the governance of the Institution and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Each category includes direct expenses and staff costs, together with an allocation of overhead costs based on a combination of direct staff costs and activity levels.

2.8 Tangible fixed assets

Freehold land is not depreciated. The charity separately identifies the major components of its properties and charges depreciation so as to write down the cost of each component to its estimated residual value on a straight line basis over its expected useful life.

The useful lives are as follows: Building structure 50 years
Doors 30 years
Windows 10 years
Other tangible fixed assets: Computer equipment 3 - 5 years
Fixtures & fittings 5 years

2.9 Investments

Listed investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

Unlisted investments comprise investments in subsidiaries which are measured at cost less impairment.

A source of financial risk faced by the charity is that is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities, particularly currency risk, and within particular sectors or sub sectors.

68

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.10 Impairments

Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. When the carrying amount exceeds it's recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.

2.11 Financial Instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

A financial asset is derecognised only when the contractual rights to cash flows expire or are settled, or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in Its entirety to an unrelated third party. A financial liability (or part thereof) is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

2.12 Stocks

Finished stocks relate to technical publications and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises the price of purchasing, printing, binding and compilation.

2.13 Debtors

Trade and other debtors which are receivable within one year and which do not constitute a financing transaction are initially measured at the transaction price. Trade debtors are subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses.

A provision for impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the amounts due will not be collected according to the original term of the contract. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities for the excess of the carrying value of the trade debtor over the present value of the future cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate. Subsequent reversals of an impairment loss that objectively relate to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, are recognised immediately in the statement of financial activities.

2.14 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand include cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit.

2.15 Creditors

Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

2.16 Holiday pay accruals

A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which has accrued at the balance sheet date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted salary cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the balance sheet date.

69

THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICES ENGINEERS

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.17 Pension contributions

The Institution operates a non-contributory pension scheme providing benefits based on final pensionable salary. The assets of the scheme are invested with an insurance company and are totally separate from those of the Institution. This scheme was closed to new members in 1999. The Institution has fully adopted the disclosures set out in section 28 of FRS 102. The difference between the fair value of the assets held in the Institution's defined benefit pension scheme and the scheme's liabilities measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method are recognised in the Institution's Balance Sheet as a pension scheme asset or liability as appropriate. The carrying value of any resulting pension scheme asset is restricted to the extent that the Institution is able to recover the surplus either through reduced contributions in the future or through refunds from the scheme.

Changes in the defined benefit pension scheme asset or liability arising from factors other than cash contributions by the Institution are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in accordance with section 28 of FRS 102. The Institution contributes to a stakeholder pension scheme operated by Aviva and is open to all employees. The annual contribution payments are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.18 Taxation

The Institution is registered as a charity, registration number 278104, and in consequence it is exempt from taxation on income arising from and expended on its charitable activities.

2.19 Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.20 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There are no estimates and assumptions that are considered to have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

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 is at least 57.2% p.a (2021: 57.2% p.a) of the pensionable salary roll, on a monthly basis. However as there are no longer any active members these contributions will no longer be due.

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:

2022 2021
Active employees - 1
Deferred pensioners 14 15
Pensioners 27 25

The financial assumptions used by the actuary to calculate the scheme liabilities under FRS 102 were as follows:

2022 2021
Rate of increase in salaries n/a 4.8%
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 5.1% 1.9%
Retail price inflation 3.3% 3.6%
