-

We welcome them to our growing team. More about each of them below.
James Gallie, Heat Pump Support Project Manager
James is Project Manager for our Heat Pump Support project, focusing on recruiting Heat Pump Champions, building the supply chain and ways to speed up the decarbonisation of homes in BANES.
James is also a practising Architect (James Gallie Architecture and Design) working in Bath and across the South West primarily on private residential homes, with a particular interest in creating simple beautiful places with ecological and energy efficient design. Before 2011 he was an Associate at van Heyningen and Haward Architects where he was responsible for several award-winning public projects in London and the South East, all designed with high levels of sustainability. James also teaches Architecture at the University of Bath, and is currently undergoing training to become a PAS2035 Retrofit Coordinator.
Mike Andrews, Retrofit Associate
Mike is one of our Retrofit Associates in the BWCE Home Energy team, who will be helping deliver the new Home Energy service by providing homeowners with expert impartial advice on the most appropriate retrofit measures for their home.
Mike has been undertaking energy assessments for 17 years since setting up his own business. Whilst Part L Building Regulations is a speciality, retrofitting existing buildings is of special interest too. Over the years he has assessed all types of buildings ranging from Park Homes to Nuclear Power station sites, Listed buildings to Goldsmith Prize winning architecture. He is a qualified Retrofit Co-ordinator both to PAS 2035 requirements and also AECB Carbon Lite Retrofit, however, his focus is on the assessment of buildings – their condition, energy status, and a focus on what can be achieved to make them a better, more comfortable home.
