It's often said that an English person's home is their castle... but how much control do we actually have over the air we breathe at home?
Awaab's Law comes into effect today! In this @uk.theconversation.com article, we write about what it does —and does not— mean for improving indoor air quality.
Still time to sign up for our free webinar for World Ventilate Day 2025. We’ll be introducing new research networks and discussing how to deliver better ventilation and IAQ for everyone. 7th Nov 12-1pm, sign up at www.eventbrite.com/e/world-vent...
I'm proud to share that I’ll be speaking at the CIBSE Influence Theatre at elementalLONDON!

Very much looking forward to working with an amazing team of collaborators and stakeholders across the 3 Hubs over the next 5 years!
The Hubs aim to increase understanding of how to achieve the Net Zero transition whilst adapting to extreme heat and improving air quality in homes, schools, care facilities, hospitals and prisons, protecting health and tackling health inequalities.
Funded by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), each Hub will run for 5 years. I'll be part of the HEARTH and INHABIT leadership teams.
🔥 HEARTH: National Hub on Net Zero, Health and Extreme Heat (led by OBU)
🏠 INHABIT: Indoor Habitability during the Transition to Net Zero Housing Hub (led by UoB)
🚸 CHILI: Child and Adolescent Health Impacts of Learning Indoor Environments under Net Zero Hub (led by UCL)
