An
all-electric home that produces two-times more energy than it consumes won the
Project of the Year - Residential category at this year’s CIBSE Building
Performance Awards.
Designed
by bere:architects, Lark Rise incorporates a 12kW rooftop solar array which
enables the home to import 97% less energy from the electrical grid than the
average UK house.
The
judges said this scheme delivered “outstanding measured building performance,
energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions”.
Devised
by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers, the Building
Performance Awards recognise completed projects which can demonstrate
outstanding in-use performance, along with awards for design, facilities
management and products for their contribution to delivering outstanding
building performance.
The Project of the
Year - International Award was won by the EY Centre in Sydney, Australia. This
33-floor office tower developed and built by Mirvac delivers premium-grade
office space whilst achieving demanding sustainability targets.
The tower incorporates
a high-performance façade and an energy efficient demand-controlled ventilation
system. The scheme also won the coveted best-of-the-best award and was
crowned Building Performance Champion 2019. The judges described the scheme as
“an exemplary project” and praised the “truly holistic approach to building
performance and wellbeing”.
The Urban Sciences
Building, Newcastle, engineered by BuroHappold Engineering, won the Project of
the Year - Public Use category. This building is home to the University of
Newcastle’s School of Computing and to researchers focused on the urban
environment; it has been designed to function as a living laboratory to aid the
development of new technologies to advance urban science.

that demonstrate engineering excellence in the built environment.
They
are the only industry awards that focus on actual, measured performance
outcomes, not just design intent or performance specifications. Entries are
open to any organisation, both within the UK and internationally, responsible
for the design, commissioning, construction, installation and operation of low
energy buildings and manufacturers whose products enable efficient energy
consumption.
Judged
by a panel of distinguished industry leaders, winners of the Awards are
acknowledged as best in class. The 2019 Awards sponsors are ABB, CIBSE
Patrons, CMR Controls, Ideal Commercial Boilers, Gratte Brothers, Imtech,
Lochinvar, Panasonic, Tamlite Lighting and headline sponsor Baxi Heating.
