New ideas to decarbonise our industry

CIBSE IBPSA England Technical Symposium 2025

We are presenting five papers at the CIBSE IBPSA England Technical Symposium 2025 on 24 and 25 April 2025. This collaborative event brings together the building service engineer and building performance simulation communities to share ways of addressing the climate change challenge and make the built environment more resilient.

We look forward to presenting our ideas and discussing innovations that address the critical need to design and develop buildings and infrastructure that are not only intelligent and resilient but also sustainable. As a consultancy we are keen to share our research and insights with industry and this CIBSE symposium, as in previous years, provides a great opportunity for us to contribute to advancing a more sustainable built environment.
