What is the CIBSE design COMPASS?

How do you use the design COMPASS?
The Home page of the site features the design areas (Heating, Cooling, Ventilation etc.) where weather information is relevant. Once the area for consideration has been chosen the user is guided to a series of design tasks and the information to assist in the completion of each task within a framework defined by a generic design process.
There are three levels to the CIBSE Design Framework. For each design area:

• The building services design process (level 1), composed of 6 design stages (based on the design framework presented in the BSRIA publication: "A Design Framework for Building Services: Design Activities and Drawing Definitions", David Churcher, BG 6/2006);
• The tasks associated with each design stage;
• Links to CIBSE guidance, to weather information and to other links

Although the CIBSE "Design Compass" identifies specific steps in a prescriptive design process, experienced professionals have the choice to either follow it or access the information provided according to their own methodology. At the same time it offers assistance to new designers to achieve best practice by following a recognisable and structured methodology. Building in flexibility to access information by any route (i.e. without necessarily following the design process sequentially) leads to a need for significant repetition. This has been deliberately built in to facilitate the flexibility. Notwithstanding that deliberation, in part the repetition of the available weather/climate information throughout the framework also underlines the relative paucity of current information and hence the importance of developing the new and appropriate information for each design area in order to assist sustainable design decisions.
