SE Controls Prize awarded to top Loughborough University graduate

Loughborough University graduate, Craig Sawyer, has been presented with the 2016 ‘SE Controls Prize’ by the company’s Group Managing Director, Will Perkins, after achieving the best overall performance on the university’s MSc low carbon building design and modelling course.

International smoke and environmental ventilation specialist, SE Controls, created the prize several years ago to reward outstanding performance on the course, which is delivered by the School of Civil and Building Engineering, one of the UK’s largest multi-disciplinary engineering faculties.

Accredited by both CIBSE and The Energy Institute, the course covers concept design, renewable energy technologies and energy consumption as well as advanced thermal, airflow and lighting modelling, to ensure students have a complete understanding of the principles and practice of low carbon design.

Will Perkins commented: “Once again, the standard of all the students was exceptional, which is highly encouraging, as the built environment is constantly evolving and presents increasingly complex challenges. We’re delighted to be involved with Loughborough University, as its world-class teaching and research facilities support the technical and commercial needs of both industry and society.”

The school’s graduates are extremely sought after by industry and commerce, with both its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes consistently ranked as excellent in student surveys and independent assessments.
