Andy Ford

Andy Ford is one of the UK's leading environmental engineers. He advises the Government on Renewable Energy issues and sustainable building.

He is a Fellow of the CIBSE, a Cabe enabler for sustainability and low-energy design, and he is on the board of the UK Green Building Council. In the construction industry, he says, “people need to adapt their knowledge to come to terms with sustainability, from the bottom up”. And society at large should be more concerned about the future: “We’re all thinking about how to minimise climate change, but not about what to do when it happens. It will be a completely new world.”

Founding partner of the award winning practice Fulcrum Consulting in 1984 (now Mott MacDonald Fulcrum) and responsible for the design of a number of ground breaking UK buildings with early work on low energy buildings on the University of East Anglia campus; including The Elizabeth Fry Building and the Jubilee Library in Brighton.

Working extensively on modern buildings throughout his career, Andy's speciality lies within sustainable low energy designs for the built environment. He has extensive expertise in the design of buildings to achieve this and how to develop complementary simple active building services. He has taken a more specific role in recent years in how the building industry can respond to the challenge of climate change.

As a CABE enabler, Andy speaks on low energy and sustainable building design to industry bodies, is a member of a number of steering committees, participates regularly in working seminars on sustainable design as a research manager for the UK Government in the area of construction process, he continues to be very involved with research, innovation and the future direction of building design and construction and has been on the judging panel of a number of competitions.

Andy chairs the Technical Committee of the UK Green Building Council and is also a member of the EDGE.

He has long experience in a wide range of sustainable building engineering, including seasonal heat storage technology.

Andy Ford will be CIBSE President in 2011.
