个人简介
I am building physicist with over 35 years of experience in building energy and environment research and low-energy building consultancy. I have secured 35 research grants, published over 140 refereed publications and supervised 40 PhD students.
Trained as a civil engineer, I developed an interest in modelling heat and mass transport which led to research work developing and validating dynamic thermal models of buildings. The models were applied to support the architectural design of large, low-energy, naturally ventilated public buildings.
In recent years I have been particularly interested in understanding and quantifying the energy demand of, and indoor conditions in UK dwellings. This research is pursued through large scale field studies involving monitoring, surveys and questionnaire studies. More detailed investigations are undertaken using our own test houses in which we mimic occupant behaviour, window and door opening, and the use of hot water, appliances and heating. Findings are extrapolated through models, either empirical models or first-principle, building physics models.
The use of our own primary datasets and others’ secondary data has enabled the development of a method for rating UK homes based on their measured, rather than predicted, energy demand. Patterns of heating within the national housing stock, and the implications of electrification of heat, have been identified.
Our measurement of indoor temperatures revealed the extent and severity of overheating, which led the UK Committee on Climate Change to press the government to act. Various guidelines and standards, and possible changes to the building regulations, now seek to prevent overheating in new homes.
