World famous yachtswoman Dame Ellen MacArthur will help reward low carbon professionals, buildings and projects at a new high profile awards event that focuses on real, measurable improvements and progress.
Dame Ellen, as part of her role as campaign champion for the 100 Days of Carbon Clean Up Campaign, will present the awards for the 10 categories of the Low Carbon Performance Awards.
The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), in association with E.ON, one of the UK’s leading electricity and gas companies, has launched the Low Carbon Performance Awards 2008 to recognise and celebrate actual, proven achievements in delivering carbon savings in buildings. The event will also publicise these achievements to the building services sector, to its clients and to the wider public.
The awards will celebrate the success of the 700 participants of the 100 Days of Carbon Clean up Campaign with four categories dedicated to the best campaigns and carbon champions, while five categories will highlight the work of CIBSE’s register of Low Carbon Consultants. A special ‘Pioneer’ award will be chosen from a shortlist of industry ‘pioneers’ who have championed the cause of sustainability throughout the UK and beyond.
Ellen MacArthur became champion of the 100 Days of Carbon Clean Up Campaign thanks to her ongoing partnership with the campaign sponsors, E.ON.
Ellen continues to work with E.ON helping to raise awareness of the simple steps their business customers can take to be more energy efficient – a message emphasised in the 100 Days Campaign.
The Low Carbon Performance Awards will take place on 6th February 2008 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. The awards are organised by CIBSE and will be presented as part of the CIBSE Annual Dinner.
