The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE UAE) hosted its 5th Annual Awards ceremony on December 7, 2023 at the Palazzo Versace in Dubai. The significance of the occasion was underscored by the presence of Ruth Carter, CEO, CIBSE, and Adrian Catchpole, President, CIBSE. The ceremony recognised and applauded remarkable achievements in the building services industry and featured 23 categories, drawing global dignitaries and over 250 MEP professionals from across the region, CIBSE UAE said in a statement, released on January 10, 2024.

The evening was filled with memorable moments, one of which was the presentation of the Silver Medal to Lynne Jack, Former President, CIBSE. In addition, Imran Shaikh, Chair, CIBSE UAE, and Marc Lynch, Vice Chair, presented the Appreciation Award to Carter and Catchpole. The Award was in recognition of their exceptional leadership and unwavering support for CIBSE UAE, the statement said.

According to CIBSE UAE, the awards ceremony highlighted individual and collective achievements, emphasising CIBSE’s steadfast commitment to fostering careers in building services. CIBSE’s knowledge and resource portal is a testament to this commitment, offering a definitive pathway to full membership for high achievers and aspiring professionals, CIBSE UAE said.

Shaikh said: “The CIBSE UAE Awards have come a long way, and with each edition, they have grown in scale and importance. We take pride in providing a platform that celebrates excellence and promotes sustainable practices and innovative solutions in building services engineering. The 2023 edition of the awards aimed to acknowledge the remarkable achievements and advancements in building services engineering that have emerged over the past year.”

In 2023, Shaikh said, the awards ceremony acknowledged excellence and underscored the crucial role the building services engineering profession plays in supporting the objectives of COP28, held in the country during the same period. Describing COP28 as a historic event highlighting the urgent need for sustainable practices worldwide, he said that the CIBSE UAE Annual Awards echoed this sentiment by recognising and promoting projects that excelled in their technical aspects and embraced environmental consciousness. Shaikh further said, “We believe that by celebrating sustainability within the realm of building services engineering, we contribute to the global effort in combating climate change.”

The members of the organisation also underscored the pivotal role of building services engineers in advancing sustainability. According to CIBSE, amidst the challenges of climate change, building services engineers bear a profound responsibility to design and operate energy-efficient, environmentally responsible, and resilient buildings, playing a crucial part in addressing the climate crisis.
