The Domestic Building Services Panel (DBSP) has now formally migrated into CIBSE, becoming the CIBSE Domestic Building Services Panel (CIBSE DBSP). This establishes a dedicated resource within CIBSE to support the domestic sector with authoritative guidance, best practice and technical expertise.
DBSP brings together more than 12 member organisations representing the mechanical, regulatory and training sectors. It plays a key role in shaping political, standardisation and commercial policy, while providing trusted design, technical and good practice guidance.
The panel is committed to advancing best practice in the survey, design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of domestic building services. Its work underpins the safe, efficient and reliable provision of comfort in homes through the systems that enable effective energy use and delivery.
By becoming part of CIBSE, the panel will continue to develop and maintain impartial guidance on domestic building services systems – from space heating and hot water to integration with wider energy systems. This guidance supports specifiers and technicians involved in the design and installation of heating systems in domestic and light commercial buildings.
