Head of Capital Programme Team, City of Edinburgh Council

Patrick currently heads up the delivery of the design and project management service for the Council’s (non- housing) Operational Estate.

Patrick has a wide range of experience, at various times leading key aspects of building construction and operation including design, project management, facilities management, energy management and PPP operational contract management.

Patrick has a long- standing interest in energy and sustainability with a current focus on addressing construction quality issues and the emerging energy ‘performance gap’. This interest resulted in making the case for the adoption of Passivhaus for new build projects which is now the City of Edinburgh Council’s approach.

Patrick has established an informal Passivhaus Delivery Forum currently attended by 7 Local Authorities in Scotland who are delivering projects to Certified Passivhaus standard. Some Authorities are now at very advanced stages of Passivhaus project delivery.
