Chairmans
Statement

Stay in touch with BSRIA

This is my final introduction to the Associations annual

review in my position as Chairman and it is pleasing that
after three years I am, at last, able to do so in an improving
economic environment. There has been a clear return of
confidence to the construction industry lead by a significant
improvement in the residential property sector.
Whilst this upturn in activity was welcome, the past year
remained challenging for the business. The improving
workload generated in the UK construction sector was slow
to filter through to the activities undertaken by BSRIA
and was compounded by depressed activities in
difficult European and Global markets.
It is to the credit of the staff and the management
team that, in spite of these constraints, the
business returned a respectable surplus for the
year against a lower than budgeted turnover. I
would like to thank all the staff for their commitment
and hard work during the last year which delivered this
creditable outcome.
In my review last year I advised that BSRIA was facing a
year of change, with the retirements of John Turner, after
16 years of service as Financial Director, and Andrew
Eastwell after 38 years of service, 16 of which were as Chief
Executive. On behalf of the Board I would like to thank them
both for their immense contributions in developing and
growing the business into the well-respected organisation,
which it is today.

The Board has subsequently welcomed Eian Hardacre

who joined the business in September 2013, as Finance
Director, and Julia Evans who was appointed as the new
Chief Executive and joined the business in May 2014. Julia
brings with her a wealth of experience at chief executive
level having previously held the position at the National
Federation of Builders, and has intimately been involved in
the construction industry for the 10 years. The changes at
Board level were completed by the appointment of George
Adams as non-Executive Director.
Throughout this transitional period BSRIA has maintained its
focus on its mission, making buildings better, by improving
and broadening the services it provides to its members and
to the industry in general. Strategic investments have been
made to expand the business. Compliance testing capability
in the UK has been substantially increased through our
partnership. Our capacity in worldwide market intelligence
has been extended by the opening of our office in Chicago to
develop a presence in the American market. I am confident
that both of these developments will be seen to be astute
moves as the activities in construction both in the UK and
globally continue to gain momentum.
In the coming year the business celebrates its 60th anniversary
and a number of special events are being planned nationwide
to commemorate this milestone throughout the year. We
shall also be publishing our vision for the future, outlining
how the organisation proposes to adapt, develop and
grow its services and activities in response to the changing
requirements of the built environment and the enormous
challenges of the sustainability agenda within the UK.
This promises to be an exciting and pivotal year for BSRIA
and I am confident that, with the calibre of its staff and the
management team, it is well positioned to capitalise on
the opportunities that will arise in the now expanding and
diversifying sectors in which it operates.
In conclusion I would like to thank the Board of Directors
for all of the support and advice that they have given to me
during my term as Chairman and I look forward to working
with them as the business moves forward into its 60th year.

ANNUAL REVIEW 2013/14

review
Instrument Solutions

Membership
Julia Evans
Chief Executive
In my first annual report for BSRIA I am reflecting back on
the key issues and challenges with which BSRIA has been
engaged in the year 2013/14. This is the year in which, at
last, the icy grip of the recession started to lose its purchase
and the signs of a modest recovery in the economy were
evident. Later in the review we focus on a couple of topics
for the future.
BSRIA has weathered the recession in good condition and
has undertaken a number of key high profile research and
technical projects during that time. It has also considered
some of the basic structures of the organisation and
streamlined operations to gain greater efficiency. The year
to come will enable a broader review of performance and
engagement, and focus on the development of a five year
strategy to take BSRIA through its 60th anniversary and
beyond.
BSRIA has a number of key functions each of which report
their key activities in this article. However it is the reputation
of the business as a whole for reliable service, expertise and
creativity in the field of building services both within the UK
and internationally for which BSRIA is known and respected.
It is this that we will be celebrating in 2015 and this upon
which we will be building our plans for the future.

BSRIA membership continued to grow with the recruitment

of 78 new members during the year.
During the year we have consolidated and updated our
relationship with the Association of University Engineers
(AUE). We are also working with the National Housing
Federation (the Federation) to develop a package that will
benefit both BSRIA members and Federation members alike.
An increase in interest from overseas organisations has led
to the development of a new services package available
electronically and at a lower subscription for the first year of
membership. We will be looking to develop this in the next
12 months.

Member Networks are continuing to grow in popularity and

are highly regarded as a member benefit. In the last year
854 delegates attended our events - a 7.5% increase over
the previous year. In September 2014 we will be launching
our latest network Residential which will examine and
communicate the key issues in this growth market.
We have not neglected our traditional services for members
and have produced eight new technical publications for our
members plus the Blue Book 2014. We also redesigned the
members journal, Delta T, to expand the range of topics
and areas. And finally we have introduced a standard
7.5% discount on on-line purchases from BSRIA Instrument
Solutions.

The 2013/14 year was a vibrant one in business terms for

Instrument Solutions who saw clear growth in not only the
level of calibrations undertaken but also the amount of
equipment on hire and in the sale of instrumentation into
different markets around the world. Particularly interesting
was the geographic and subject diversity of the markets
served. For example during the year we have supplied health
and safety instrumentation into the oil and gas industry not
only in the North Sea but also as far afield as Azerbaijan
and we have supplied particle counters for manufacturing
facilities in Germany and dust monitoring instruments for use
in process plants in the Far East.

(Above) Specifically designed to help specifiers mind the gap between performance and reality, BSRIA Cert has now introduced two new
certification schemes - for weather louvres and PICVs. Also under consideration is a scheme for fan coils.

ANNUAL REVIEW 2013/14

Future growth seems assured with the portfolio of

instruments from different suppliers and UKAS accredited
calibration facilities allowing BSRIA to be clearly recognised
as a one-stop shop for clients.

during the year to come. The division will continue its focus
on key areas including the development of its services in
the residential sector with the Government maintaining its
commitment to zero carbon homes from 2016.

Sustainable Construction Group

Test

The Sustainable Construction Group has enjoyed a successful

year across all of its operations. The Group has seen growing
industry interest in a number of areas including Life Cycle
Costing (LCC), Soft Landings in part associated with the
Governments implementation of Government Soft Landings,
the learning from building performance evaluation and the
implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM).
The drive by the UK Government to adopt BIM within the
construction industry has generated a huge upsurge in
interest. BSRIA has been key to the implementation of
BIM within the building services sector, and central to the
production of PAS 1192-3 Specification for Information
Management for the Operational Phase of assets using
building information modelling. BSRIA was delighted to
win the contract to write this publication for the BSI, the
importance of this document was emphasised by it being
downloaded 355 times in the first 10 minutes of it being
available. PAS 1192-3 is a companion document to PAS 11922, which specified an information management process to
support building information modelling (BIM) Level 2 in the
capital/delivery phase of projects. In contrast, PAS 1192-3
focuses on the operational phase of assets irrespective of
whether these were commissioned through major works,
acquired through transfer of ownership or already existed in
an asset portfolio.

BSRIA Test has had a successful year following the introduction

of the Construction Products Regulation in July 2013. This
has driven demand in areas such as radiator and flue testing,
as well as stimulating new opportunities with the testing of
solid fuel stoves. BSRIA has now been testing stoves as an EU
Notified Body for just over a year.

BSRIA has also continued its highly successful Introduction

to BIM course and will be promoting and supporting BIM

Publication of BSRIAs Test Method for Pressure Independent

Control Valves (BTS 1/2012), written in collaboration with
industry has overcome the lack of an existing standard. This
publication has led to an increase in valve testing work and
we see this part of the business expanding.
The demand for heat pump testing remains strong,
particularly from manufacturers wishing to access schemes
such as the Energy Technology List (ETL) and Microgeneration
Certification Scheme (MCS), linked to the Renewable Heat
Incentive. We have seen a significant increase in the testing
of heat interface units over the past year, resulting in the
creation of a working group to develop a test methodology in
collaboration with industry.
Our bespoke testing team has also had a successful year. A
significant project to build and run a 345m2 bespoke test
facility for a new build project in 2014 will allow further
research and development in this area.

Worldwide Management
Intelligence

clients and we have won repeat business from several key

players in the industry. The reach of BSRIA Asia has also
extended into the wider Asian market including Russia.

BSRIAs Worldwide Market Intelligence (WMI) division had a

challenging year as the European market continued to suffer
from the effects of the economic downturn combined with
an increased level of competitor activity. As a result BSRIA
undertook a wholescale review of their market intelligence
activities which has resulted in a widening of the topics
covered by BSRIA reports an increase in the type of report
available and will see a fresh and contemporary new styling
to BSRIA reports, allowing WMI to build on the growth they
have experienced in the last few years.

In April 2014, BSRIA Asia also signed a cooperation agreement

with the China Association of Refrigeration (CAR) at the
China Refrigeration Show and the parties will work together
to conduct a China Refrigeration Study in 2014.

Two of the exciting new topic areas that WMI will be

developing are:-

Energy and Energy Efficiency in Buildings

Although the European Commission is still debating the
final energy targets for 2030 it is already clear that it will
focus on factors that have helped to put it on the right track
towards achievement of the 20/20 targets. These include the
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency
and the increased use of renewable energy systems; these
moves can only strengthen in the years to come.

BSRIA USA

Increasing levels of work commissioned by American clients

has led to the establishment of the BSRIA USA office in
Chicago. This will enable us to further improve services for
existing USA clients and to grow our impact and services.

Conclusion
BSRIA will continue to support and serve the industry during
the year to come and with the development of its new
strategy, its celebrations of its 60th year in 2015 and the
drive and determination of its members and staff, BSRIA will
continue to play a leading role in the creation and delivery of
cutting edge services and the development and advancement
of the building services industry.

District Energy
The UK has a 60 year history of utilising district energy.
However the last five years have seen a big upsurge in
interest on the part of energy companies, planners, central
government and certain types of clients.

Compliance
BSRIAs Compliance division for commercial and domestic
airtightness integrity testing went through a number of
changes during the year. Commercial and residential testing
businesses were merged to facilitate improved business
efficiencies which are now yielding considerable dividends.
These changes were fundamental in ensuring BSRIA
exceeded our clients service expectations during the course
of the year. This included receiving the Barratt Developments
Service Supplier of The Year (Indirect) award. The year also
saw a new partnership with NHBC whereby BSRIA serviced
their current bookings and were allowed new sales through
NHBC Energy Services. This partnership, coupled with generic
growth through Building Regulations, led to a significant
increase in activity over the previous year.

ANNUAL REVIEW 2013/14

Soft Landings:

airborne

Roderic Bunn
BSRIA Soft Landings
If one had to define what problem Soft Landings was an
answer to, one could do worse than say the difference
between ambition and reality. At the start of most projects
there is no shortage of motivation, no limit to enthusiasm, no
barriers to imagination. Clients have boundless ambitions,
prospective occupiers have great expectations, and designers
have grand designs. No-one sets out to do a bad job.
Reality, though, tends to be a bit of a let-down. The tougher
the performance targets the greater the risks. The greater
the risks, the more attention there has to be on managing
them. In the cash-strapped, time-limited, rapid-design
and even more rapid-build world, mistakes are made,
assumptions are not revisited, and commissioning is rushed.
Handover ends up perfunctory. Hidden complexities come
as standard, increasingly so in sub-contract packages like
motorised windows or renewable energy systems. The
demands on asset managers increase with every innovation
and tighter carbon targets. Twenty years of post-occupancy
studies, from the PROBE project in 1995 through to the work
by the Carbon Trust and currently the building performance
evaluation work funded by the Technology Strategy Board,
testify to the problems of underperforming buildings.
Which is why BSRIA is putting so much effort into developing
the Soft Landings way of doing things. Its a slow-burn
process, not least because UK construction industry has so
many ingrained, deeply contractual and institutionalised
ways of doing things. But in the last twelve months things
have moved on perceptibly. More private sector clients are
including Soft Landings in their employers requirements;
sometimes well, sometimes with more than a few begged
questions but at least its in them. The public sector is also
8|

waking up to the need for change. Central Government will

be mandating its version of Soft Landings (Government Soft
Landings, or GSL for short) alongside building information
modelling (BIM) from 2016.
Where central government leads, local government tends to
follow. More and more local authority tenders are requiring
Soft Landings (and, increasingly, Government Soft Landings).
Admittedly such requirements are not always well-informed,
well-expressed, nor contain enough detail for tenderers to
respond appropriately, but clients intentions are clear: we
want buildings that work in reality, not just in a computer
model, and we want a greater level of professional care, both
before and after handover. Its up to the construction industry
to respond, and in that they can turn to the guidance on Soft
Landings published by BSRIA, whether it be BG54/2013 The
Soft Landings Framework and its supporting document BG38
Soft Landings Core Principles, or the practical guidance in
BG45 How to Procure Soft Landings.
But its not just BSRIA thats been leading with guidance,
training and public exhortation. BSRIA runs the Soft Landings
User Group, with a membership of more than 25 organisations
professionally committed to Soft Landings. The members
of that User Group do much of the public speaking on Soft
Landings, they contribute hugely to the documentation,
and they learn from each other how to apply Soft Landings
in practice. The benefit to the Soft Landings movement
has been immense. Members also benefit commercially in
terms of market awareness, as clients begin to discriminate
between those who say they do Soft Landings, and those
who actually do it.
So what of the immediate future? Much remains to be done,
particularly in providing training for Soft Landings champions
and in developing skills in building performance evaluation.
BSRIAs successful Soft Landings Level 1 training course will
be supplemented by new levels, particularly covering tools
of building performance feedback and ways to reality-check
designs. As some confusion exists between Government Soft
Landings and BSRIA Soft Landings, a task group headed by

Ashley Bateson of consultant Hoare Lea (members of BSRIA

and the User Group) will be authoring a bridging document
to explain the differences and commonalities.
We also know more effort is needed to support Soft Landings
at a regional and provincial level. Again, the Soft Landings
User Group is showing the lead here, with Stephen Beadle of
contractor FES planning to host a Soft Landings User Group
in Scotland. More than anything we need case studies to
demonstrate the benefits of Soft
Landings. In the coming year
BSRIA and the User Group will be
collaborating to generate those
case studies.
Soft Landings has, as it were,
taken a long time to pick up
speed down the runway, but
with some justification BSRIA can
claim the process is well and truly
airborne. This may be a mixed
metaphor, but all Soft Landings
are preceded by safe and wellprepared take-offs. You cant
really have one without the other.
Soft Landings may be largely
about graduated handover
and professional aftercare, but
absolute commitment to the
process by both clients and
project teams has to be in place
from the very start for it to work
well. That means BSRIA and the
User Group engaging with clients
and client bodies to explain the
Soft Landings process. If you are
that client, then were keen to
hear from you.

(1) Max Fordham have championed Soft Landings on the Keynsham Regeneration Project, which is
fundamental to helping the client achieve their ambitious target of an A-rated DEC.
(2) Several members of the Soft Landings User Group are involved in this project including Max Fordham,

How to get
started
The Governments requirement
- the Seven Pillars of (BIM)
Wisdom
Earlier this year the Government BIM task group redefined
the scope for Level 2 BIM as being compliance with seven
components the seven pillars of (BIM) wisdom if you like:

Jo Harris
Principal Consultant

What is Building Information

Modelling (BIM)?
With the UK Government pushing forward with Level 2 BIM
required on all its mandated construction projects by 2016
our members are busy working out what that means for
them. At its core BIM is a managed approach to the collection
and exploitation of information. It is all about the efficient
use of information and data on assets.
BIM offers the construction industry a process to capture
data and share information during a project which also
results in better information for those operating assets. As
everyone knows knowledge is power and BIM is all about
giving the recipient of the data generated by the process
knowledge. We have been working with our BIM network
and BIM training to help our members get the best support
and most up-to-date information they can with this fast
moving subject.

Of these seven components, four already exist with a fifth

due out imminently. BSRIA won the technical authoring role
for PAS 1192-3 which has been published by BSI. It sets out
the need for comprehensive and accurate information and is
a great start to the in-use phase of an assets life. Following
PAS 1192-3 results in an Asset Information Model (AIR) - a
single information source which can be used as the basis for
all asset related decision making.

ANNUAL REVIEW 2013/14

GSL is also one of the pillars; it is Central Governments client

requirements M or R for construction projects to embrace Soft
Landings. Central Government departments are gearing up to
include their own GSL champions on these projects. Our Soft
Landings User Group are also looking to engage further with
facilities managers in the industry and we have been working
with the BIM4FM group to encourage this group to get involved
with Soft Landings and BIM.

What does that mean for me?

- The BIM Roadmap
During a construction project BIM supports design decisions
and allows visualisation and discussion with clients and their
representatives, leading to better decision-making about a
facility from earliest conceptual stages, through design and
construction, into operational life and even future demolition.
To arrive at handover in a construction project with the best
possible data set, the operational requirements must have
been considered as part of the project briefing process.
This allows the information being prepared throughout the
procurement phases to be focussed on adding maximum value
to the operations process providing the data required and
in the right format. This should also satisfy the organisations
Organisational Information Requirements (OIR), as identified
as part of its Asset management Plan. An Asset Management
Plan is discussed in detail in PAS 55 Asset management and its
equivalent ISO standard ISO 55000, recently published by BSI.
We have been helping organisations to determine what BIM
means to them and their organisation. You dont have to wait
until you have a new building built, the principles set out in
PAS 1192-3 will help you start the journey and you can take
a progressive approach as you update your information about
your existing properties. You just need to create the right
environment for managing all the data about your properties.

How do I get started with BIM?

- The BIM implementation plan
It is helpful to put new developments such as BIM in context
with existing working practices, and for this BSRIA uses a BIM
roadmap. The roadmap puts the BIM elements alongside
common construction activities such as the RIBA Plan of
Work and helps align the processes. BSRIA has offered the
Introduction to BIM training course throughout 2013 and this
will get updated in 2014 to support people who are now trying
to implement the BIM process into their organisations.
Converting practices to comply with BIM is not a quick activity
but it is a worthwhile one.
