Chris Puttick

Chris Puttick is a Senior Lecturer and programme lead for the Architectural and Environmental Engineering programme at the University of the West of England, operating within the Faculty of Environment and Technology. With 17 years of industry experience as a building services consulting engineer—including leadership roles in multi-disciplinary consultancies and his own firm—he specializes in end-to-end project delivery from business development and design to post-occupancy evaluation across sectors such as healthcare, higher education, residential, arts, sport, and offices.

His educational qualifications include a Master of Engineering (MEng) and professional membership with the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (MCIBSE).

Research interests focus on sustainable building innovation, integrating psychological impacts and data-driven approaches:

• Low energy building design and environmental engineering
• Building ventilation, heating, and cooling systems
• Building controls and energy optimization
• Public health engineering in built environments
• Contracts management and procurement processes
• Soft Landings framework and post-occupancy evaluation

He advocates for redefining industry practices through occupant well-being metrics and energy data analysis.
