David Glew
Professor David Glew is the Head of Energy Efficiency and Policy in the Leeds Sustainability Institute, based at Leeds Beckett University, where he undertakes research into the sustainability of the built environment.
He has special interest in the embodied and operational energy use of buildings, improving building performance evaluation tools and models and investigating how behaviour change can address issues including indoor air quality, thermal comfort, the performance gap and achieving zero carbon living.
His recent research projects have evaluated the energy performance and risks associated with domestic retrofits and investigated the robustness of building energy models and thermal simulations.

Integrating Nature into Cities
Increasing vegetation and green and blue spaces in cities can support both climate change mitigation and adaptation goals, while also enhancing biodiversity and ecological health. Maibritt Pedersen Zari (Auckland University of Technology) explains why nature-based solutions (NbS) must be a vital part of urban planning and design.
Co-ordinate Built Environment Research for the Public Good
Gavin Killip and Kate Simpson (Nottingham Trent University) propose a coordinated research programme of field trials to create a focus for iterative learning about outcomes in the built environment, for the public good. They explain why a transdisciplinary programme is needed and seven key characteristics of the programme are proposed.
