CIBSE unveils "Building Performance Reimagined" project: Pioneering a future-focused approach to building engineering
CIBSE has launched a groundbreaking initiative titled Building Performance Reimagined, a visionary project aimed at transforming the landscape of building engineering and sustainability.
Commissioned by CIBSE and researched by Arup, the Building Performance Reimagined project diverges from conventional engineering paradigms. Rather than focusing solely on system sizing, maintenance or controls, the initiative takes a holistic, future-oriented perspective on building performance.
At its core, Building Performance Reimagined seeks to redefine the parameters of traditional engineering practices and equip CIBSE members with the tools to meet future challenges head-on. The project explores the dynamic and evolving nature of building performance, going beyond energy efficiency and carbon reduction to consider broader forms of value within the built environment. The theme of "Building Performance Reimagined" was also central to the Presidential Address of CIBSE's new President, Fiona Cousins. In her address, President Cousins emphasised the importance of embracing future-focused approaches and reimagining building performance to meet evolving societal and environmental needs.
The report introduces four pivotal performance metrics designed to guide the industry towards enhanced health and resilience:
Variety: Optimising building services to promote space efficiency, adaptability and user diversity.
