Amie has 15 years of industry experience in both contracting (Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd) and consulting (Cundall). Her research interests lie in how Net Zero Carbon and adaptation concepts can be applied in decision making associated with the built environment system.
Her previous research has been in the field of embodied impacts of materials within buildings, with a focus of the use of technology such as BIM to enable the integration of information for decision making.
The intention of Amie’s PhD research is to understand how the building sector can create a meaningful balance between climate mitigation and climate change adaptation. The aim is to improve the ability of investors, developers, engineers and other key decision-makers to deliver projects that address both mitigation and adaptation aspects. This research could also contribute to our overall understanding of how to better integrate sustainability decisions within the complex real estate sector.
