Mandatory CPD Topics
CIBSE is a pioneer in responding to the threat of climate change and has been active for many years establishing the critical link between how buildings perform in operation and their carbon impact. This, combined with the revised Building Safety Act 2022, emphasises that competence in these two topics has never been more critical.
Therefore, from 1 January 2024 all CIBSE Licentiate, Associate, Member and Fellows must complete at least one semi-structured CPD activity each year on:
- Sustainability
- Building Safety
While the two topics are mandatory, you can interpret how you will conduct this learning in a way that’s meaningful for your specialism, role, and development plan. Aside from the requirement that the CPD be semi-structured, we are not prescriptive on the type of activity you undertake. The choice is yours to determine the semi-structured CPD and it can be delivered by CIBSE or any credible source.
Look out for the icons across CIBSE materials to signpost you to relevant CPD opportunities.
