The CIBSE MENA Awards (formerly the CIBSE UAE Annual Awards) are a prestigious platform celebrating excellence, innovation, and impact in building services engineering across the Middle East and North Africa.
As the built environment across the region evolves to meet the challenges of climate resilience, energy efficiency, and digital transformation, these awards honour the individuals, projects, and organisations that are leading the way in delivering high-performance, sustainable buildings. The relaunch of the awards under the broader MENA banner reflects CIBSE’s growing engagement across the region and its commitment to recognising best practice on a larger scale.
Organised by CIBSE, in collaboration with the CIBSE UAE Region, the awards aim to:
Recognise excellence: Celebrate the outstanding achievements of engineers, consultants, students, and project teams who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in building performance.
Champion innovation: Showcase cutting-edge technologies and forward-thinking design approaches that are shaping the future of the built environment in the region.
Promote professionalism: Highlight the value of CIBSE membership and the positive impact of continuing professional development across the engineering profession.
Build community: Bring together the CIBSE community across MENA, fostering collaboration, networking, and shared learning among professionals and organisations committed to engineering a better built environment.
The next CIBSE MENA Awards ceremony will take place in October 2025, and promises to be a landmark event, bringing together thought leaders and innovators to recognise the best in building services engineering.
