The 2026 CIBSE Building Performance Awards (BPAs) will take place on 5 March 2026 at the Park Plaza, celebrating excellence in building performance around the globe.
The BPAs are unique in the industry, recognising actual, measured performance outcomes rather than just design intent or specifications.
Open to organisations and individuals worldwide, the awards celebrate those responsible for the design, commissioning, construction, installation and operation of low-energy, low carbon, high-performance buildings — as well as the manufacturers whose products enable efficient energy, low carbon use and other performance outcomes.
CIBSE is delighted to announce the shortlist for 2026, featuring projects, products, and people pushing the boundaries of building performance across multiple categories.
