CIBSE has launched its refreshed brand identity, marking a significant moment in its 129-year history and signalling a new era for how the institution presents itself to the world.
The updated brand reflects a more modern, accessible and forward-thinking CIBSE, one that is aligned with the evolving demands of the building services profession and the institution’s ambitions for the future.
The refreshed identity strengthens CIBSE’s global presence with a clearer, more contemporary visual language and refined messaging shaped through extensive member feedback and engagement. As the industry continues to tackle the challenges of energy efficiency, climate resilience and the transformation of the built environment, CIBSE says the refreshed brand signals its confidence, clarity and commitment to supporting the sector through this new chapter.
Over the coming days, CIBSE members, partners and the public will see the refreshed identity rolled out across the institution’s digital platforms, publications and communications.
Key elements of the brand refresh include:
- A modernised visual identity, retaining the iconic CIBSE hawk while simplifying and refining its appearance to reflect a clean, contemporary style suited to today’s digital landscape.
• Clearer and more accessible communication, ensuring that CIBSE’s messages are easy to understand, member-focused and aligned with the priorities of a modern-day professional community.
• A refreshed global outlook, positioning CIBSE more strongly across international markets as the institution continues to grow its influence and partnerships worldwide.
• A new strapline: Inspiring People. Transforming Places. – encapsulating CIBSE’s role in supporting people, advancing professional standards, and shaping a better built environment.
Ruth Carter, CIBSE CEO, commented on the brand refresh: ‘‘CIBSE’s refreshed visual identity marks an important step in ensuring our brand reflects the modern, forward-thinking institution we are today. The updated logo, visual style and strapline make CIBSE more accessible and relevant, strengthening how we present ourselves to our international communities. This brand refresh has been shaped by member feedback and engagement, helping us ensure our identity reflects the evolving needs of the profession and the direction in which we are moving.’’

Building Management Systems (BMS) have long been used to control the heart of a building – monitoring and controlling its essential systems such as lighting, ventilation, heating and air conditioning. Facilities Managers want the best visibility to help detect and deal with concerns before they become issues.
This webinar brings together the experts from energy network provider, E.ON along with FM thought leaders to discuss moving from a reactive service to a proactive service. By identifying energy issues early and automatically, instead of occupants reporting issues, then potential faults can be identified early and remedied. The BMS does this before the problem occurs by using smart alerting and EMC support services.
Panel:
- Sara Bean: Editor FMJ (Facilities Management Journal)
- Nick Westlake: Energy and Service Delivery Manager at E.ON Control Solutions
- Sunil Shah, the author of IWFM’s Energy Management Good Practice Guide and MD of Acclaro Advisory
- David Cermak, Regional Facilities Manager for David Lloyd Clubs
