| Professor David Jenkins leads the Urban Energy Research Group at Heriot-Watt University and has a background in building physics and energy modelling with over 100 papers in the field. He was lead of the CEDRI project, using a range of multi-disciplinary techniques to capture the relationship between occupants, buildings, and energy networks for energy demand reduction strategies in Indian communities, and also UK lead on the Horizon-funded crossCert project, investigating next-generation Energy Performance Certificates and their application in European policy. He was Co-lead on the EPSRC H+C Zero Network, CESI, and ReFLEX projects, exploring methods of aligning local renewable supply with energy demand and the role of energy modelling of buildings within this process. He is currently co-lead of an interdisciplinary UKRI project on Biochar in buildings. He has been on advisory panels for Scottish and UK Government (in areas of building energy policy) and leads the Energy and Efficiency in Buildings theme of the Scottish Partnership in Energy and Engineering Research and Innovation (SPEERI). | |
