In our most recent episode of Talking Buildings, we are joined by Nalin Nanayakkara, Senior Engineer – Building Performance at Cundall, based in Perth. 

Nalin and our host Paul Angus discuss the Building Brilliance: Navigating the Net Zero Transition.  Nalin takes  us on a deep dive into smart building, plus the transition of existing buildings towards net zero. 

Nalin’s passion shines through, where he is working closely with facility managers/building owners of existing buildings to improve operational performance and develop net zero pathways.

In this episode of CIBSE Talking Buildings, host Paul Angus sits down with Michael Calcoen, Technical Director at Mott MacDonald, to explore the building services engineering story behind the new Sydney Fish Market — one of Australia’s most ambitious waterfront redevelopments.

From ventilation and odour control to refrigeration, energy efficiency, and climate resilience, Michael reveals the complex building services engineering and environmental challenges of designing a modern fish market that’s both high-performing and sustainable.

The conversation also dives into interdisciplinary collaboration, lessons learned, and the broader trends shaping the future of building services design.

 Listen in for a behind-the-scenes look at how innovative engineering is bringing Sydney’s historic fish market into the next generation.

Cooling the Catch: Engineering the New Sydney Fish Market

Welcome to CIBSE Talking Buildings, the podcast show where we explore the hidden systems shaping our world, and the risks we often overlook.

In this episode, we turn on the tap and take a deep dive into water quality in Australia, from the plumbing inside hospitals to the creeks flowing behind our homes. Our guest is Dr. Annette Davison, Principal Risk Scientist at Risk Edge, an expert in water safety, environmental risk, and plumbing systems with a passion for practical solutions.

Together, we unpack:
The hidden risks lurking in Australia’s water infrastructure
Why geography, aging systems, and human behaviour all matter
The power of initiatives like One Creek and water hygiene superhero training
Real-world incidents from the Incidents Online database—and what we’ve learned

Whether you're a facility manager, policy maker, engineer, or just someone who uses a tap every day, this episode will change how you think about water. From system design to community action, water quality is everyone’s business, and it starts with understanding the risks.
