CIBSE declares dates for 2008 National Conference

Making sustainability an everyday expectation is the theme of next year’s CIBSE and ASHRAE National Conference. Called ‘Sustainability — from niche to norm’, it will be held at the Newcastle Gateshead Hilton from 28 to 30 April. The choice of theme reflects the increasing influence on energy-efficiency factors on the building-services industry. The conference will open with a gala dinner on 28 April, and the following two days will be packed with traditional presentations, panels sessions, case studies and optional fringe seminars. For more information as it breaks, watch the CIBSE web site.
