CIBSE welcomed a delegation from the Shanghai Association of Science and Technology (SAST) to its new head offices, in London, last month.
The delegation met the Institution’s CEO, Ruth Carter, President Vince Arnold, technical director Dr Anastasia Mylona, director of membership Richard Goldsbrough, and head of government affairs Sam Baptist, for an engaging and insightful visit.
The SAST delegation learned about our membership, network, history and Royal Charter status. Dr Mylona highlighted key examples of our work in driving industry standards and best practice, including our recently launched Weather Data Set and the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard.
The delegation expressed interest in our pioneering approach, noting the significance of CIBSE leading initiatives that are later adopted by the UK government — testament to our influence and expertise.
It also discussed opportunities for collaboration and expansion in China.
