Breathing Buildings CEO appointed as Visiting Professor in Sustainable Buildings

Breathing Buildings is delighted to announce that its CEO Dr Shaun Fitzgerald FREng has been appointed a Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor in Sustainable Buildings at the University of Cambridge, from 1 January 2015.

 

It will enable Shaun to give more time to teaching graduates and undergraduates on various courses in the university. Shaun will be delivering modules on natural ventilation and other sustainable building technologies, and how to combine engineering theory with the context of the industry in which they are applied. Shaun's expertise in the subject, coupled with extensive experience of working and leading design meetings involving engineers and architects in the development of innovative, naturally ventilated and hybrid ventilated buildings, will be extremely valuable for the students.

One of the key aspects which will be expanded by Shaun is the commercial background which underpins any building project. The issues of capital cost and future running cost savings are vital for the students to learn, and Shaun's experience in building Breathing Buildings and successfully engaging with design teams and end clients on these issues will be of great value for the students.
