The winners of this year's Building Performance Awards were announced by CIBSE (the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) at a ceremony yesterday evening (11 February) at the Grosvenor House Hotel, in London.
Sustainable Design Solutions and Marks & Spencer were awarded the overall accolade of 'Carbon Champion of the Year' for their commitment to improving building performance and a reduction in energy consumption at the retailer's Cheshire Oaks store, which also won in the category of New Build Project of the Year (value over £10m).
The International Project of the Year category was new for this year's awards and the winner was Atelier Ten for its stunning and innovative designs for Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, which the Judges described as an ambitious project given a well thought through, holistic engineering solution.
The CIBSE Judges also recognised a 'one of a kind project' by awarding a Judges' Special Engineering Award to ChapmanBDSP for the Velodrome London 2012 Olympics, which showcased the world-leading attributes of British engineering and British cycling.
