Tamsin Tweddell
MSc MA CPhys MInstP

Engineer

Tamsin leads our work to deliver post occupancy services for clients, which focuses on the operation of completed buildings, their energy use and how well the client’s aspirations and brief have been met.  Through this, she is able to contribute to the delivery of successful buildings that work. It also provides vital feedback and guidance which is then applied at the early stage development of new projects.

Previously Tamsin was project engineer for the new headquarters of Renewable Energy Systems, a low carbon office development incorporating many renewable energy technologies, and has been monitoring the energy performance of the building since it opened in 2003.

In a further application of her experience to date, she has become a member of the Soft Landings User Group which is a forum for clients and project teams to share experience and learn good practice from other practitioners. She is also a member of CIBSE’s Energy Performance Group.

Tamsin has written papers on the performance of Renewable Energy Systems’ HQ and a chapter in the recent edition of "Environmental Design". Currently she is also supervising a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project in collaboration with University College London to research which factors have the greatest influence on energy performance in schools and how the actual building in use differs from design assumptions.

Tamsin received an MA (Hons) in Natural Sciences (Physics), First Class, from Cambridge University and an MSc in Renewable Energy Engineering, Distinction, from the University of Reading.  She became a partner at Max Fordham in 2004.
