Jake Williams
Director
Jake has extensive experience in the field of environmental design, carbon reduction, energy and building simulation.
Using his in-depth understanding of environmental design and his expertise in techniques such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), dynamic thermal modelling and daylight simulation, Jake can devise design solutions that reduce energy demand, improve wellbeing, and ensure a healthy and comfortable internal environment. He has played a key role in defining the low energy design and environmental strategies on a wide range of projects, including research facilities, higher education buildings, scientific and offices. He has a strong interest in decarbonisation of existing assets and has led net zero strategy work for clients such as The Crick, the MRC and Related Argent.
Following through projects from concept to completion and into occupation has given him a solid grounding in the reasons for the performance gap between design and operation, important knowledge of how buildings are managed and operated in practice, as well as an understanding of how occupants interact with buildings in reality. He is particularly passionate about bringing this learning into his projects, focusing on delivering designs that are robust, user-centric and avoid unnecessary complexity.
