Personal profile

Research interests

Professor David Jenkins leads the Urban Energy Research Group at Heriot-Watt University and has a background in building physics and energy modelling. Recent work has focussed on the application of statistical techniques for enriching understanding of energy demand data, and modelling, of buildings. He was lead of the CEDRI project, using a range of multi- disciplinary techniques to capture the relationship between occupants, buildings, and energy networks for energy demand reduction strategies in Indian communities, and also UK lead on the Horizon-funded crossCert project, investigating next-generation Energy Performance Certificates. He is/was Co-lead on the H+C Zero Network, CESI, and ReFLEX projects, exploring methods of aligning local renewable supply with energy demand and the role of energy modelling of buildings within this process. He has been on advisory panels for Scottish and UK Government (energy building policy) and leads the Energy Efficiency in Buildings theme of the Scottish Energy Technology Partnership.
