Our Spring 2026 Index is Here — and There’s a Lot to Celebrate!
Spring has arrived, and so has the latest edition of the CSA’s Index newsletter — packed with updates, industry insight, member milestones, and some very exciting news from across the association.
This edition reflects just how much is happening within the CSA right now. From major changes behind the scenes that will shape how we serve our members, to thought-leading content on the future of HVAC water treatment, there’s something here for everyone across the commissioning and building services sector.
Flip through the pages to catch up on everything — but here’s a taste of what’s inside:
What’s in this edition:
- Chairman’s Update — Keith Barker shares the latest on the CSA’s ongoing transformation, including the planned sale of the Horsham office, the move to a new accounts platform, and the exciting launch of our in-house exam system. There’s also news of a Chair’s Celebration coming in June — a great opportunity to connect across the wider building services world.
- Industry Feature: The Future of Closed System Water Treatment — Sponsored by eleXion Water Treatment, this edition’s centrepiece explores the shift away from traditional chemical dosing towards engineering-led, chemical-free approaches. With reference to VDI 2035, VDI 6044, BSRIA BG89, and HNTAS TS1, it’s essential reading for anyone working with modern HVAC systems.
- CSA Gala Awards 2026 — Nominations are now open for the annual celebration of commissioning excellence, taking place on Thursday 8th October at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel, London. With categories spanning commissioning, water treatment, training, innovation and more — don’t leave it too late to enter!
- Exam Results & New Members — We’re thrilled to celebrate the latest cohort of members who’ve passed their DLC and Grade 4 exams, and to welcome a fantastic group of new individual and corporate members to the CSA family.
