As a environmental advocate with knowledge and skills honed from a professional career in accountancy and tax advisory, I am passionate about promoting how, as individuals, we can lead lives with a more positive, sustainable and equitable impact on the environment. My particular focus is on how we can improve the sustainability and energy efficiency of our residential buildings. In 2019, I embarked on a comprehensive domestic retrofit project to remodel my family's suburban home: a bold and experimental endeavour that reduced its operational energy demand and estimated carbon footprint by 70% and >80% respectively. Throughout this project, I gained valuable knowledge and experience, which I now seek to share in order to raise awareness of the benefits of undertaking retrofit works.Looking forward to the next phase of my career, my goal is to inspire others to adopt energy efficiency measures in their own homes (and workplaces) in order to make them not only more environmentally friendly, but also more comfortable and cost-efficient to run. Embarking on this new venture, I am excited to be equipped with the business awareness and client and project management experience that I gained from my career in accountancy and tax (both these being analytical, data and fact driven professions).I recently qualified as a Domestic Energy Assessor with Elmhurst Energy and now perform energy assessments on existing domestic properties (using RdSAP) and produce Energy Performance Certificates (or EPCs).
