The CIBSE Building Simulation Awards 2025 organised by CIBSE Building Simulation Group celebrated innovation and excellence in sustainable building design.
Winner: Zahra Jahed Bozorgan (University of Bologna) for “Assessing Thermal Resilience of Residential Façade Typologies Under Climate Change Using the Facade Resilience Index.” Her research offers vital insights into adapting buildings for future climate resilience.
Runners‑Up:
- Alejandro Gomez Beltran (Cundall) – “5 New Street Square – Building performance modelling to optimise retrofit decarbonisation and heat recovery systems.”
- Kevin Becerril (Buro Happold) – “Bridging the Performance Gap: Advanced Modelling in Heritage and New Build Integration for Scottish Net Zero Standard.”
Young Modeller Award: Soumya Uttam (Scotch Partners) was recognised for her outstanding contribution as an emerging talent in building simulation.
The Awards highlight the transformative role of modelling in driving decarbonisation, resilience, and net zero integration.
Special thanks to our sponsors – DesignBuilder, EDSL TAS, IES, Monodraught, and EDR MEDESO – whose support makes these awards possible.
