The CIBSE Building Performance Awards of 2024 will honor and recognize outstanding achievements in the built environment.

The CIBSE Building Performance Awards 2024 took place on Thursday, February 29 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge. The event brought together industry leaders, innovators, and visionaries to honour those who have made significant contributions to advancing the building industry, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and setting new standards for excellence.

Organised by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), the annual awards ceremony recognises outstanding accomplishments and acknowledges both the winners and those who secured a place on the shortlists. The Building Performance Awards undergo meticulous evaluation, emphasising data-driven performance assessment and serve as a platform to spotlight the industry’s highest achievements annually.

This year’s event showcased a diverse range of categories, highlighting the crucial aspects that contribute to creating sustainable, efficient and innovative built environments. Some of the key categories included Best Digital Innovation, Project of the Year, Product or Innovation of the Year and Building Performance Champion.

Philip Draper, Managing Director at Twenty One Engineering, was honoured with the prestigious title of Engineer of the Year. He stood out for his unique blend of creativity and practical delivery of innovation, and his genuine passion for the advancement and expansion of engineering. According to the judges, Philip embodies the essence of engineering leadership, making him a deserving recipient of the Engineer of the Year award.

The Building Performance Champion of the night was SGA Consulting’s York Guildhall project. It earned this prestigious title for its outstanding achievement in rejuvenating a centuries-old structure despite facing significant regulatory, historic, and environmental challenges. The judges commended the project for its excellence in navigating and overcoming these constraints. In a time when the industry confronts the urgent need to renovate existing structures to meet net-zero targets, York Guildhall stands as a symbol of potential within these limitations.
