It’s not rocket science, but even if it was, engineers should be able to find the answer to recruiting more women into senior positions

This morning, The Guardian published an article that I had been working on about the lack of women retained in the profession, WiBSE, and my personal experiences working in the built environment.

You can read the full piece over on the Guardian website, complete with some links to online research.

UK Green Building Council + PRP Architects conceived the Rising Star Award in memory of Mel Starrs, a prominent built environment practitioner and PRP employee who sadly and suddenly passed away in July 2012. The inaugural Rising Star award is to highlight the work of a built environment professional who has made a real difference to the sustainability agenda.

I am thrilled to be shortlisted for this award. I knew Mel a little; she was one of my industry heroes and was fast becoming a friend. One of the most touching tweets after she died was from Rob Annable @eversion;

“And now? Now we’ve all got to raise our game.”

I’m doing my best…

The winner will be announced at a ceremony at Ecobuild this Wednesday 6th March. It’s a fantastic shortlist (and not just because I’m on it). You can read more who made the shortlist here on the UKGBC website.

Building Design said that the “top 10 were selected based on a number of factors: perceived usefulness of their recent Twitter activity, visible interactions with other architecture professionals, evidence of specialist knowledge sharing and the influence of those who nominated them.” Click here to read the full article.

I’m quite pleased to say that I coined the #BuildingPhysics hash-tag – why not join the conversation by following @InklingLLP.

I was asked to be a judge for the CIBSE Energy Performance awards this year which was a great honour. I was pleased to find that my career analysing energy performance meant I could contribute robustly to the judging debate and subsequent decisions.


There is a good article in the CIBSE Journal’s December 2012 issue about the awards, click here to read it.
