Dr Brian Anderson

Technical director of BRE Scotland, Dr Brian Anderson is based in East Kilbride and is an internationally acknowledged expert in the fields of thermal insulation, thermal performance of buildings and prediction of energy use. His work has included the development of energy models for housing, the writing of standards for the measurement and prediction of thermal properties, and the formulation of regulations governing conservation of fuel and power in buildings. He is responsible for developing the concept, methodology and calculation process that lie at the core of BREDEM and the continuing development of SAP. He advises two central government departments on the 精东影视 Regulations and on energy efficiency matters, as well as other organisations in the public and private sectors. Working in the background for policy implementation, Anderson has worked tirelessly for over 30 years on ensuring that the tools are available to the market to show energy performance compliance for domestic dwellings.

Patrick Bellew

Principal of Atelier Ten, Patrick Bellew strives constantly to produce innovative and feasible solutions to improve the sustainability of the built environment. He is described by one of his team as 鈥渁n inspiration for all of us鈥� [and] the main reason I moved career paths from architecture to engineering to finally work for someone who was responsible for making real change happen and not just talking about it鈥�. Bellew actively shares his knowledge and empowers clients and colleagues to believe that change is possible, galvanising people to action. He supports education by teaching internationally, and allowing his employees to do the same, while also leading his company and feeding his innovative ideas directly into projects. Bellew is seen as unafraid to try new approaches, keenly exploring new avenues and ideas, while also being able to deliver realistic and commercially viable options. A believer in collaboration, he likes to bring in people from all backgrounds, helping generate richer solutions to everyday problems.

Edward Garrod

PHA Consult鈥檚 Edward Garrod formed the consulting firm with Piers Heath in 2005 to focus exclusively on environmental engineering and sustainable design. Originally trained as an architect and environmental analyst, Garrod leads the company鈥檚 team of building physicists, sustainability consultants and researchers, working alongside leading UK architects including Foster + Partners, RMJM, KPF, Aedas and Make to help them achieve their aspirations for sustainable projects in over 20 countries. He has dedicated the past two years to the environmental design of the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology 鈥� the first building and centrepiece of Masdar City, the world鈥檚 first zero-carbon, zero-waste city. Working with Foster + Partners, Garrod has led the implementation of innovative approaches to slash the environmental footprint of this green technology research centre. His submission to the government consultation on the definition of zero carbon figured prominently in the resulting summary, while in Abu Dhabi he submitted a detailed response to the development of the Estidama sustainability system. Garrod also supervises architecture students at the universities of Cambridge and Bath.

Brian Mark

Director of sustainability at Fulcrum Consulting Brian Mark has over 30 years experience, developing a multidisciplinary engineering capability covering all aspects of building services engineering, with particular focus on integrated low-energy/low-environmental-impact design of large-scale low-carbon power generation and the creation of business plans to enable sustainable development. His unique background in biology combines extensive scientific knowledge with practical building experience and engineering, enabling him to keep to the fore the human impact of the built environment. Mark brings his expertise to many advisory roles, including for the Renewables Advisory Board, the London Energy Partnership, the GLA and Cabe, and he has developed energy strategies for large housing developers. He also advises on architectural study courses, sharing his knowledge and practical experiences with younger people in the industry to inspire them to build on the lessons of the past to futureproof tomorrow, and has written extensively on low-energy and low-environmental-impact technologies.

Simon Smith

Ramboll structural engineer Simon Smith has led a team that has delivered over 6,000 tonnes of carbon emissions reduction through lean design, use of renewable or recycled materials and waste reduction. Smith has been instrumental in introducing timber frame construction to large-scale projects in the UK 鈥� his team has just delivered the country鈥檚 largest timber structure, using some 3,500m3 (2,900 tonnes CO2 sequestered) of solid timber panels. The same team has also designed and delivered the UK鈥檚 second-largest timber building (1,000m3 = 800 tonnes CO2 sequestered). His work in timber also includes research in timber concrete composite floor construction at Cambridge University. At the British Geological Survey, Smith delivered the UK鈥檚 first timber-frame Termodeck building. He also instigated a number of lean concrete building projects, including the UK鈥檚 first large-scale voided deck concrete structures at Sheffield University (550m3 of concrete saved = 175 tonnes CO2) and an innovative cassette raft at High Holborn in London (1,500m3 of concrete saved = 550 tonnes CO2). Finally, he sparked the development of Ramboll's carbon calculator: an embodied CO2 software for structural frame evaluation.

Chris Twinn

Arup director Chris Twinn is co-leader and founder of the firm鈥檚 精东影视s Sustainability Group. Coming from an architectural engineering background, moving into building physics and sustainability after originally qualifying in building services and moving into multidisciplinary design, he has 30 years鈥� experience in design and delivery of environmentally aware and sustainability projects. His special interests are town planning, its sustainability relationship and the human interface, and he has served on Cabe鈥檚 Design Review Panel, the Eco-town review panel, English Heritage鈥檚 Urban Panel, BRE Global鈥檚 Sustainability Board, the RIBA鈥檚 Sustainable Futures Committee, the Edge Committee and the UK-GBC Zero Carbon Task Group. Design projects on which Twinn has worked directly include the Inland Revenue Centre in Nottingham, Portcullis House in Westminster, BedZed and a raft of other zero-carbon designs such as Kingspan Lighthouse, Barratt Greenhouse, Gallions Park, Dongtan and other eco-cities, Samsung Zero Energy Development in Seoul, and Hong Kong Science and Technology Park. He also aims to make his own 1930s home carbon neutral by the time he retires.
