CIBSE AWARDS | PERFORMANCE DATA modelling and set energy use and/or space-heating demand targets at the design stage (but not contractual). Their energy performance compared with the existing stock and industry targets is in Table 1. No changes were made to this years forms remember, the deadline to submit your project is September 5. Small changes are being considered for next years forms, including: Asking applicants to submit the building footprint: this would allow the projects PV output to be compared with emerging UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard (NZCBS) targets for onsite renewable generation, which are currently proposed to be in kWh.m-2 per year of building footprint Modifying the language for reporting on batteries: the form currently asks for annual energy used by the battery, which does not seem to be understood consistently and could incorporate energy that transits through the battery but is used in building operations, as well as energy lost in storage Automating some checks on energy breakdowns, especially those relating to how onsite energy generation is used. CJ If you have any questions or comments about the entry forms or would like to contribute project exemplars to inform industry net zero targets, contact Julie Godefroy, CIBSE head of net zero policy, at jgodefroy@cibse.org.
