I have been involved in the integration of mechanical systems for the control of environments for 22 years. After gaining a Doctorate in Aerodynamics, I spent 10 years both in the US and Europe designing, installing, and commissioning climatic test facilities for the automotive and HVAC industries. I subsequently moved into the ground source heatpump industry with one of the leading installers in the UK. For the last 10 or so years i have been with Hoare Lea.
