Nick MacDonald-Smith

Principal Energy and Environment Programme Officer

Nick has been working in energy efficiency and sustainability in the built environment for the last 13 years both in consulting and in-house roles across engineering to property management organisations. He has been an accredited Energy Performance Certificate Assessor as well as a BREEAM Commercial Assessor in the past, and has managed portfolio wide certification programs for EPCs/DECs, Air Conditioning Assessments, BREEAM Certification and other mandatory and non-mandatory reporting requirements.

Nick is aware of the need to maximise the potential of the data we gather every day, but do not necessarily capture and analyse. The rise of Big Data and data analytics in the built environment is allowing better understanding of energy use and where the opportunities to drive large savings are in a large and diverse estate.
