The Royal Academy of Engineering has published a new report on developments in Smart Buildings (available here). Doug contributed to the report to ensure that people remain at the heart of smart buildings and not just machines.
Doug was caught actually defending the Green Deal (kind of) in the Daily Mail today! Someone conflated the issue of overheating in recently insulated properties with the Green Deal and heatwave deaths to create a scandal. Doug had to try and provide some balance (within the limits of selective quoting).
Doug’s Inauguration as a Visiting Professor at Chongqing University in China has made it into the local media. He just wishes he knew what it said!
Doug is heading to China next week to be inaugurated as a Visiting Professor at Chongqing University and to attend the launch of their International Centre for Low Carbon Building Research.
