IESD: Introduction

Institute of Energy and Sustainable Development (IESD) staff have undertaken research and consultancy for over 30 years to create the underlying knowledge and technologies necessary to achieve more energy-efficient and sustainable lifestyles.

The Institute employs a multi-disciplinary team of Professors, Lecturers, Fellows and Senior Fellows - supported by higher degree students - who are respected internationally for the quality of their work. Their disciplines range from mathematics and physics, through engineering, to economics and social psychology. This enables them to lead multi-disciplinary projects that address environmental, economic and social research problems.

The Institute provides a high quality environment for doctoral study and offers an established programme of flexible taught masters courses.

The Institute is a founder member of IBPSA-England, the English regional affiliate of the International Building Performance Simulation Association.
