With over 15 years of experience in designing high performance building and systems, Chris has led design teams on projects ranging from a zero-net energy educational research centre to the engineering concept design for Google HQ in Mountain View CA. In this talk, Chris investigates the need for accelerated collaboration and innovation in order to move beyond sustainability and towards restorative and regenerative design. Chris is the Technical Director for Hydrock’s London based Building Performance Engineering group and comes with more than fifteen years of international experience in the design of high performance buildings and systems. Chris has a particular expertise in early design integration of environmental and building systems within architecture, thermal mass energy storage technologies and high efficiency building conditioning systems.

Over his career, he’s led building services and sustainability design teams on projects ranging from a zero-net energy educational research centre to the engineering concept design for Google HQ in Mountain View CA.

While delivering low energy, responsible design is at the heart of what Chris enjoys, he believes that engaging with the next generation of designers is vital to the continued improvement in design, sustainability and collaboration. Chris has taught and lectured at the University of Cambridge, the AA School of Architecture and Oxford Brookes University on various topics ranging from sustainable design to occupant comfort. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
