The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers
Engineering a Sustainable Built Environment
The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers received its Royal Charter in 1976. It is the professional body that exists to:
"support the Science, Art and Practice of building services engineering, by providing our members and the public with first class information and education services and promoting the spirit of fellowship which guides our work."
CIBSE is a pioneer in responding to the threat of climate change.
Buildings account for almost 50% of damaging carbon emissions, yet innovative services design can bring dramatic improvements in energy efficiency. Our members continue to create the most environmentally friendly systems in major projects across the globe.
CIBSE provides best practice advice.
CIBSE is the standard setter and authority on building services engineering. It publishes Guidance and Codes which are internationally recognised as authoritative, and sets the criteria for best practice in the profession. The Institution speaks for the profession and so is consulted by government on matters relating to construction, engineering and sustainability. It is represented on major bodies and organisations which govern construction and engineering occupations in the UK, Europe and worldwide.
Career Development
CIBSE promotes the career of building services engineers by accrediting courses of study in further and higher education, by approving workbased training programmes and providing routes to full professional Registration, including Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineer and Engineering Technician.
