IES are Winners at CIBSE Building Performance Awards

Collaborative Working Partnership Award goes to IES and Project Partners for John Lewis, York

25th February 2016

We’re delighted to announce that last night we scooped the CIBSE Building Performance Award for Collaborative Working Partnership.

Alongside project partners, Lateral Technologies and Next Controls, IES helped John Lewis to exceed its energy efficiency and low carbon targets and create the world’s first BREEAM Outstanding department store.

Using IES SCAN technology, Lateral Technologies worked with IES Consultants to collect data directly from BMS systems and calibrate it with the design model to show any gaps in terms of predicted and actual performance and help deliver soft landings. The controls company, Next Control Systems, were responsible for extracting the data from the BMS system to share with IES and Lateral Technologies.

Together this team helped John Lewis to create its most sustainable store to date and achieve a reduction of 43.8% in absolute carbon emissions compared to the benchmark, equating to 13.8% further savings than the original expectations of 30%.

CIBSE have published an article with more information on the project which you can read here and you can also read more in our John Lewis, York case study.
