Excited to have been named on this rather cool map from TFL and RAEng for National Engineering Day. All the stations replaced by engineers past and present to showcase the breadth of engineering. I’m at Leyton on the central line! londonblog.tfl.gov.uk/2023/11/01/e...

Happy #NationalEngineeringDay to all fellow engineers and a special shout out to all those in the UK and beyond working to improve ventilation, indoor air quality and building sustainability

The last of this year’s beans, but there’s still more raspberries to come.

Time to start getting ready for the social media event of the year. Yes folks, coming up on the 8th November it’s……World Ventilation Day #WorldVentil8. Our theme this year is #BreathBetterLiveBetter so please use this day to share all thats great about ventilation www.worldventil8day.com

Excellent day at the IHEEM conference. Talked air and water for patient safety, Leeds postdoc Waseem Hiwar shared our work on Far UVC for mitigating airborne infection and I got to catch up with the fabulous @microlabdoc.bsky.social on all things ventilation

Looking forward to talking at the IHEEM Manchester conference tomorrow on hospital ventilation and why we need a rethink. We can do some easy stuff now like adding air cleaners, but for long term solutions for infection and energy we need to do things differently #ventilation

It’s a cats life! Introducing our lovely moggy to Blue sky

Does anyone know any good papers or resources around cost benefit for #ventilation or air cleaning in hospitals? There seems to be v little analysis that considers this objectively.
