In a world where we consume some 2.5 planets' worth of resources I design buildings that seek to use only a fair share of our one planet's natural bounty. And using less materials and smaller systems should mean they cost less to build. See my website link below.My background is multi-disciplinary building design, from architectural engineering, through M&E systems, to building physics & sustainability. Over 35 years I have built up extensive experience of using planning policy, business strategies and regulatory frameworks, to deliver sustainability win-win benefits. Based in China and Australasia for much 2010 to 2013, I working on numerous Eco-cities and similar projects. While exciting and dynamic, it brought home to me how far we still need to reduce our environmental impact if this planet is to provide the resources for us all to achieve a reasonable standard of living.I have worked on many of the world’s pioneering green buildings and low carbon communities. These include Beddington Zero Energy Development (BedZED) – a first for urban carbon-neutral designed projects, Kingspan Lighthouse – the first Level 6 building to the UK’s Code for Sustainable Homes, the Samsung GREEN TOMORROW Zero Energy House – the first LEED® Platinum certified project in East Asia, and the Construction Industry Council Zero Carbon Building in Hong Kong, to mention but a few.I am particularly interested in the relationship between people and their built environment, and why conventional building design tends to overlooks the behavioural issues. Yet harnessing these offers the potential for significant environmental impact benefits. I am drawn more and more into policy and national sustainability trajectory work. With a career based on the delivery of sustainability related projects, I am acutely aware of the importance of clear institutional and regulatory frameworks to allow the construction industry to deliver the benefits that society will value for the longer term.Specialties: Include:Mapping business drivers onto sustainability objectives to developing project specific targets.
