「英中对照」CIBSE年度工程师：米里亚姆·奥赞恩

Miriam Ozanne’s recognition as CIBSE’s Engineer of the Year highlights how versatile, dynamic and influential the modern-day building services engineer has become.Miriam Ozanne 荣获 CIBSE 年度工程师称号，凸显了当今建筑服务工程师已变得何其多才多艺、充满活力且富有影响力。

Since entering the industry in 2009, Ozanne has advised high-profile public bodies and blue-chip corporate clients, applied her technical expertise to sustainable projects in Palestine, and worked on the ‘greatest show on Earth’ at the London 2012 Olympics.自2009年进入该行业以来，Ozanne 曾为知名公共机构和蓝筹企业客户提供咨询，将自己的技术专长应用于巴勒斯坦的可持续项目，并参与了2012年伦敦奥运会这项“地球上最伟大的表演”。

In March 2026, the same month she was named CIBSE Engineer of the Year, Ozanne took the decision to establish her own design consultancy, specialising in bridging the gap between design and operational reality. It marks the start of an ambitious new chapter in an already rich and varied career. 2026年3月，就在她获评 CIBSE 年度工程师的同一个月，Ozanne 决定创办自己的设计咨询公司，专注于弥合设计与运营现实之间的差距。这标志着她本已丰富多样的职业生涯开启了雄心勃勃的崭新篇章。

Like many engineers before her, Ozanne was not immediately aware of the attractions of a career in building services. After turning her back on the idea of becoming a Formula 1 race engineer – too much travel – she decided to look at well-known engineering consultants close to Imperial College London, where she was studying for her degree in mechanical engineering.和此前的许多工程师一样，Ozanne 起初并未意识到建筑服务职业的吸引力。在放弃成为 Formula 1 赛车工程师的想法——出差太多——之后，她决定考察伦敦帝国理工学院附近的知名工程咨询公司，当时她正在该校攻读机械工程学位。

While admitting to being ‘a bit of a geek’ who loves the technical side of the job, Ozanne says she is also a people person. Her work with Arup on a variety of projects – including a bank HQ in Mexico and the British Museum – allowed both sides of her skill set to thrive. ‘The opportunity to work with so many different people, coming from so many different angles, was great. I really enjoyed that,’ she remembers.Ozanne 承认自己“有点像极客”，热爱工作中的技术层面，但她表示自己也擅长人际交往。她在 Arup 参与各类项目——包括墨西哥的一家银行总部和大英博物馆——的工作，让她技能组合中的两个方面都得到了充分发挥。“有机会与这么多不同的人合作，从这么多不同的角度处理问题，真是太棒了。我真的很享受这一点，”她回忆道。

As her skills as a building services engineer developed, Ozanne soon realised she could put them to good use volunteering with various NGOs and organisations in Palestine. 随着作为建筑服务工程师的技能不断提升，Ozanne 很快意识到自己可以充分利用这些技能，到巴勒斯坦的各类非政府组织和机构从事志愿服务。

‘When I started out in my career, there was this feeling that I could have a positive impact,’ she says. ‘I did a lot of volunteer work on renewable energy, recycled water and schools projects. It was a huge motivator for me. I’m very purpose-driven. I care about what I’m doing.’“刚入行时，我觉得自己可以产生积极影响，”她说。“我在可再生能源、再生水和学校项目方面做了大量志愿工作。这是我的一大动力。我是个目标感很强的人。我关心自己正在做的事情。”

If you can’t bring a historic building into the modern world, you’re essentially leaving it to ruin 如果无法让一栋历史建筑融入现代世界，本质上就是任其毁灭

Her passion for volunteering saw Ozanne leave Arup and work full time in the Middle East, supported by research funding. Afterwards, she returned to the UK to work as an associate director and principal engineer at Aecom. 对志愿服务的热忱促使 Ozanne 离开 Arup，在研究经费的支持下前往中东全职工作。此后，她回到英国，在 Aecom 担任助理董事兼首席工程师。

For three years from 2019, Ozanne worked at flexible workplace provider WeWork, where she experienced the reality of operating buildings. 2019年起的三年间，Ozanne 在灵活办公空间供应商 WeWork 工作，在那里她体验到了建筑运营的真实情况。

‘My time at WeWork was important because, up until then, I had designed buildings without necessarily understanding how they were going to be operated. We have this divide between the people who design and people who operate, and that doesn’t help with energy efficiency,’ she says. “在 WeWork 的那段时间很重要，因为在那之前，我设计建筑时并不一定了解它们将如何运营。设计者与运营者之间存在这种隔阂，而这对能源效率并无帮助，”她说。

In 2022 Ozanne returned to Aecom and formed a building performance team focused on optimising buildings in operation, an area she was passionate about. Her aim was to break down traditional industry barriers between those who design and those who operate buildings. 2022年，Ozanne 回到 Aecom，组建了一个建筑性能团队，专注于 优化运营中的建筑，这是她热衷的领域。她的目标是打破建筑设计者与运营者之间的传统行业壁垒。

Since March this year, however, she has been her own boss, having set up her consultancy. ‘I have a young family and it feels like the right time for an adventure like this,’ she says. ‘While at times it feels slightly terrifying, the freedom and flexibility of greater choice was a strong motivator to take this step.’然而，自今年3月成立咨询公司以来，她一直自己当老板。“我有一个年轻的家庭，这 感觉正是进行这样一次冒险的合适时机，”她说。“尽管有时这感觉有点吓人，但更多选择带来的自由与灵活，是促使我迈出这一步的强大动力。”

Much of her work is with organisations that have made bold decarbonisation commitments and now face the practical challenge of delivering them cost-effectively.她的很多工作是与已做出宏伟脱碳承诺、如今则面临以高成本效益兑现承诺这一现实挑战的组织合作。

‘There was a time when everyone was just running headlong for decarbonisation, but that has changed – it can’t be at any cost. A lot of my work now is listening to organisations that are saying “we’ve made this commitment; how are we going to meet it?”.’“曾有一段时间，所有人都只顾着一头冲向脱碳，但情况已经改变——脱碳不能不计代价。现在，我的很多工作是倾听各组织的声音，他们说：‘我们已经做出了这项承诺，要怎样才能兑现？’”

Fortunately, Ozanne says there are a lot of ways to save energy in a building before looking at expensive retrofit options. 幸运的是，Ozanne 表示，在考虑成本高昂的改造方案之前，建筑可以通过多种方式节约能源。

Taking a holistic view was important when she was working on a net zero strategy for 20 Fenchurch Street. Ozanne and her team combined their design knowledge with strong collaboration with the building management team. Based on extensive data analysis, they identified and implemented a range of changes to operational controls, at no cost, that resulted in significant energy savings.在她为 20 Fenchurch Street 制定净零战略时，采取全局视角十分重要。Ozanne 及其团队将设计知识与同楼宇管理团队的密切协作相结合。基于广泛的数据分析，他们找出并实施了一系列运营控制措施调整；这些调整零成本，并带来了 显著的节能效果。

Ozanne notes the wider benefits of prioritising building performance, such as extending plant life. ‘If plant is run efficiently, the expected life can go beyond their lease, saving money and carbon’.Ozanne 指出，优先考虑 建筑性能还有更广泛的益处，例如延长 机电设备寿命。“如果机电设备运行高效，预期寿命可以超过租约期限，从而节省 资金并减少碳排放。”

She talks passionately about embodied carbon, and says huge strides forward with Environmental Product Declarations and TM65 are allowing for better calculations. Building operators are increasingly understanding the bigger picture of whole life carbon, she adds.她满怀热忱地谈论隐含碳，并表示环境产品声明和 TM65 已取得长足进步，使更完善的计算成为可能。她补充说，建筑运营方正越来越理解全生命周期碳的整体格局。

While Ozanne has spent many years working
on new ‘steel and glass’ buildings, her heart is in the heritage sector. ‘I am passionate about decarbonising heritage buildings. If you can’t bring
a historic building into the modern world so it’s suitable for use and resilient to climate change,
then you’re essentially leaving it to ruin.尽管 Ozanne 多年来一直从事
新建“钢铁与玻璃”建筑的工作，但她心系历史保护领域。“我热衷于历史建筑脱碳。如果不能把
一栋历史建筑带入现代世界，使其适合使用并能够适应气候变化，
那么本质上就是任由它 走向毁灭。

‘My approach is shaped by my time in Palestine, where the history of buildings and people’s connection to the land are so important.’“我的方法深受在巴勒斯坦那段经历的影响，在那里，建筑的历史以及人与土地的联结至关重要。”

Ozanne’s consultancy is already collaborating with others to deliver decarbonisation solutions for heritage projects such as Leeds Castle, in Kent, with Zero Emission Buildings. ‘With older buildings, it’s not just about decarbonising from an environmental perspective; it’s about future viability. If we can cut operating costs, that is positive for these venues.Ozanne 的咨询公司已与其他机构合作，携手 Zero Emission Buildings，为肯特郡利兹城堡等历史建筑项目提供脱碳解决方案。“对于老建筑，这不仅是从环境角度脱碳；更关乎未来的存续能力。如果我们能降低运营成本，对这些场馆而言就是积极的。

‘I’d love to be known as the “heritage decarb lady”, honouring the past by allowing it to evolve and develop. That really excites me.’“我希望被称为‘历史建筑脱碳女士’，通过让过去得以延续和发展来致敬过去。这真的让我 兴奋不已。”
