Bringing Buildings Alive with CIBSE Ireland
Bringing Buildings Alive brings you the experts who are shaping the future of building services engineering. On the first Monday of each month, we dive deep into heat pumps, AI integration, Well building certification, smart buildings, and the sustainability challenges that will define the next decade. What's the next standard we'll need to meet? Where's the market heading? How do we design for buildings that will still be standing—and performing—in 50 years? Whether you're buried in the weeds of a complex project or trying to see the bigger picture, this is your chance to step back, get ahead of the curve, and understand what's coming down the line before it lands on your desk.
