Matthew Gregg

Matthew Gregg is a Senior Research Fellow in Architecture and Climate Change at the School of Architecture, Oxford Brookes University. Affiliated with the Low Carbon Building Group of the Oxford Institute for Sustainable Development, his work focuses on building performance evaluation, climate change adaptation, and sustainable building design. He teaches on the MSc Sustainable Building: Performance and Design program and collaborates with institutions like the University of Oxford and Bioregional.

• Education:
  • MSc in Sustainable Building: Performance and Design, Oxford Brookes University (2009)
  • BArch (prior to 2009)

His research integrates climate change modeling and empirical building monitoring to address overheating risks, energy efficiency, and low-carbon community development. Key projects include RESIDE (India residential energy codes), ZERO-PLUS (net-zero settlements), and SNACC (UK suburban adaptation).

Recent publications emphasize urban energy mapping, smart thermostat effectiveness, and heat pump deployment. Awards include Best Paper honors at SEEDS (2017, 2020) and IBPSA England (2020).

• Scientific Awards:
  • SEEDS 2017: Mapping socio-economic barriers in UK energy policy
  • SEEDS 2020: Lockdown energy performance analysis
  • IBPSA England 2020: Spatial urban energy modeling

Gregg has secured grants from the European Commission, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and EPSRC for interdisciplinary projects spanning building science, urban planning, and behavioral research. His consultancy experience includes urban design work in the USA and collaboration with the Nashville Civic Design Center.
