Four industry experts join the Journal podcast to discuss the challenges of reducing operational and embodied carbon in building cooling systems.
Space cooling accounted for nearly 16% of the global building sector’s electricity consumption in 2020 according to the International Energy Agency.
Global demand for space cooling and the energy needed to provide it will continue to grow for decades to come, with the demand for cooling expected to triple by 2050.
This podcast, sponsored by Daikin, discusses the challenges of decarbonising cooling across a building’s lifetime with four expert guests discussing how best to reduce both operational and embodied carbon.
Subjects tackled include training, embodied carbon calculations, and the role of digital twins in managing building data.
The panel concludes that engineers must also consider occupant comfort and flexibility in building design to reduce the requirement for cooling.
The guests on the podcast, chaired by CIBSE Journal editor Alex Smith, are:
Carl Collins, head of digital engineering at CIBSE
Matteo Dall’Ombra, product commercial Daikin UK
Clara Bagenal George, an associate at Introba
Andrew Mitchell, head of sustainability operations director at Mace

Podcast: The challenge and opportunities of delivering heat networks
In this podcast, sponsored by Grundfos Pumps, we discuss the challenges and opportunities of realising the government’s ambition of significantly growing heat networks in the UK.
The Committee on Climate Change has recommended that up to 18% of heat demand should be met by heat networks by 2050, and it has emphasised the importance of connecting non-domestic buildings to networks. It states that these should account for 53% of total heat delivered by heat networks by 2050.
Grundfos’ Glenn Miller and Kim Hansen will share the Danish company’s extensive experience of district energy networks, while CIBSE's Julie Godefroy looks at the government policies that are being used to encourage the uptake of heat networks.
The podcast will look at the influence pumps have in overall system performance and the role they play in the efficiency of individual components in a district energy system.
Guests in the podcast chaired by Alex Smith are:
- Glenn Miller, product and solutions manager who has worked as an engineer in construction since 2005.
- Kim Hansen, business development and solutions manager in District Energy, who has been specialising in developing digital solutions for district heating networks that are driving improved energy efficiencies.
- Julie Godefroy, who is the head of sustainability at CIBSE and has been involved in CIBSE’s response to the government's proposals on growing the number of heat networks in the UK.
