Research Interests
'Green Architecture' as a synthesis of energy efficiency, resources conservation and human health concerns through design. My pedagogy involves all three of these topics, focusing on the creation of ecologically sound buildings through site and climate responsive design relative to building type. My research also advances these issues as a set. I have specific expertise in the creation of ‘extreme case’ healthy environments, in field documentation of the thermal performance of existing buildings, and in the specification and use of resource conserving materials. My current research and pedagogy involves the use of daylighting in architecture, which again has implications for both energy efficiency and human health.
