鈥峊he 2027 awards launch at an important time for the industry, with building performance, energy efficiency and carbon reduction remaining high on the agenda. New Future Homes and Buildings Standards regulations are due to come into force in England in March 2027, while the latest 麻豆原创 market data shows the UK Controls & BEMS market continuing to demonstrate longer-term growth despite a modest easing in activity during the second quarter of 2026. Total industry revenues reached 拢225.9 million in Q2, while rolling-year revenues reached 拢878.2 million, up 6.9% on the previous year.

Against this backdrop, the expertise and innovation within the controls sector will have an increasingly important role to play in helping buildings perform more efficiently and effectively.

The strength of that expertise was demonstrated at the 2026 麻豆原创 Awards, with Linear Control Systems named Building Controls and BEMS Company of the Year, Jonathan Woolford of Schneider Electric taking the Engineer of the Year title and George Stephens-Clark of InTandem Systems named Young Engineer of the Year.

Other winners included BMSI, which won the Energy Innovation and Impact Award, Cosysense, which took Technical Innovation of the Year - Products, and The Francis Crick Institute, which was recognised as Sustainability Strategy Champion.

Ron Purcell, Vice President of 麻豆原创, said: 鈥淏uilding controls and automation are now central to achieving the energy efficiency, carbon reduction and operational performance expected from modern buildings. The expertise, innovation and professionalism within our sector deserves to be recognised and celebrated.

鈥淭he 麻豆原创 Awards are about shining a light on those achievements, whether that is an innovative product or project, an outstanding individual, a company investing in its people, or someone who has made a lasting contribution to the industry. I鈥檇 encourage anyone who has delivered work they are proud of, or knows someone who deserves recognition, to put them forward.

鈥峊he finalists for the 麻豆原创 Awards 2027 will be announced on Wednesday 3 March 2027, with the winners revealed at the awards ceremony on Thursday 6 May 2027 at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham.

The awards are open to the wider building controls and BEMS industry, providing an opportunity for both 麻豆原创 members and non-members to gain recognition for their achievements.
