The AUE represents building engineers and facilities staff working in over 100 universities across the UK and seeks to advance understanding across disciplines contributing to engineering services. This year’s event combined technology and methods under the theme ‘The Resilient Estate: Engineering Continuity in Higher Education.’

TCUK representatives attended on a multi-brand platform, highlighting technology solutions from Carrier, Toshiba and CIAT.

David Dunn, managing director of TCUK sales, said: “Resilience is a core element in the engineering philosophy that underpins the design of all HVAC technology across our brands. Our equipment is renowned for its outstanding reliability, which is why it is specified for mission-critical applications in high-value commercial and industrial projects.”

TCUK supports knowledge transfer among university building engineers with a programme of Continual Professional Development (CPD) courses on key technical and legislative topics. The courses, certified by the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), enable those attending to gain credits toward their annual personal CPD learning programmes.

Neil Hitching, business development director, TCUK, said: “CPDs were a key focus for us at the AUE conference and attracted a lot of interest among delegates. As a result, we will be organising a number of events at universities around the country over the coming months.”
