Among Dame Judith Hackitt's recommendations in her landmark report Building a safer future, she called for more demonstrable competency among those who design and build higher-risk buildings (HRBs). 'An outcomes-based framework requires people who are part of the system to be competent, to think for themselves rather than blindly following guidance, and to understand their responsibilities to deliver and maintain safety and integrity throughout the life-cycle of a building,' she said in the report. To demonstrate their competency, engineers can sign up to the HRB Register. CIBSE is one of only five professional engineering institutions offering assessments against UK-SPEC HRB, and has awarded its first certificates to Max Fordham LLP engineers James Byass, partner and director of MEP engineering, and Luke Hadley, partner, director and electrical engineering lead. Read more about them and the HRB registration in the June CIBSE Journal, out now: www.cibsejournal.com

We’re pleased to congratulate Dean Loizou on achieving Higher-Risk Buildings (HRB) Registration through CIBSE recently, becoming the third professional to do so via the Institution. This important milestone recognises Dean’s expertise and competence in working on complex, high-stakes projects, helping to raise standards across the industry and providing greater confidence to clients, residents and regulators. As one of only five Professional Engineering Institutions licensed to award HRB Registration in the UK, CIBSE is proud to support this vital route to demonstrating competence in the built environment. Dean is a Design Director at Whitecode Consulting Ltd with over 14 years’ experience delivering coordinated, compliant and energy-efficient building services design for large-scale residential and mixed-use developments. He has extensive expertise in high-rise buildings (HRBs), regeneration and complex multi-building schemes. His strong technical leadership, attention to detail, and deep understanding of the Building Safety Act and modern regulatory requirements make this a well-deserved achievement. Congratulations, Dean, on this significant professional milestone! 👏 🔗 If you are interested in applying for HRB Registration, visit https://buff.ly/3XkOqUl #WeAreCIBSE #InspriringPeopleTransformingPlaces #EngineeringExcellence #HigherRiskBuildings #ProfessionalDevelopment Engineering Council

Myth vs Fact: Heat pumps edition ❌️ Myth: Heat pumps are bulky and take up more space than traditional boilers. ✔️ Fact: Air-to-water heat pumps are usually installed outside, replacing an internal boiler or oil system, freeing up space inside your building. Heat pumps aren’t just efficient and low-carbon, they’re practical too! Through guidance, research and training, CIBSE is helping the sector deliver heat pumps that work in practice. 🔗 To learn more about CIBSE’s campaign on heat pumps, visit https://buff.ly/wNUM9yd #WeAreCIBSE #InspiringPeopleTransformingPlaces #HeatPumps #LowCarbonHeating #NetZero #BuildingPerformance
