Research

I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Welsh School of Architecture with an expertise in building physics, building simulation, fuel poverty mapping, and building energy consumption modelling at an urban scale.

Teaching

I am Module leader for Low Carbon Buildings and Co-module leader for Investigation of the Built Environment, and dissertation supervisor on the Architectural Science Masters.

Research interests

Energy and environmental models at all scales, from the person to a regional scale. The use of Geographic Information systems (GIS) to model the built environment at an urban scale. Monitoring the energy use and performance of buildings.

Current and recent projects include:
