Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers | Brief

The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE; pronounced 'sib-see') is an

international professional engineering association based in London that represents building

services engineers. It is a full member of the Construction Industry Council and is consulted by

government on matters relating to construction, engineering and sustainability. It is also licensed

by the Engineering Council to assess candidates for inclusion on its Register of Professional

Engineers.

The Institution's objective, as defined in the Royal Charter, is to "support the Science, Art and

Practice of building services engineering, by providing our members and the public with first

class information and education services and promoting the spirit of fellowship which guides our

work". The Institution is primarily focused on:

Promoting competence through education, training and registration.

Delivering up-to-date knowledge of the art, science and engineering of the built environment

through its membership networks, publications and research.

With a dual focus on both the engineering and the construction sectors of the economy, CIBSE

provides a coordinating role for the application of multi-discipline science and engineering

principles in the built environment and promotes the delivery of integrated projects by working

with others in construction.
