Speakers

Chris's background is multi-disciplinary building design, from architectural engineering, through M&E systems, to building physics & sustainability. Over 35 years he has built up extensive experience of using planning policy, business strategies and regulatory frameworks, to deliver sustainability win-win benefits. 

Chris has 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.

He is drawn more and more into policy and national sustainability trajectory work. With a career based on the delivery of sustainability related projects, Chris is 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.
