Background

In the light of global environmental issues such as global warming, air pollution and excessive material waste, the sustainable renovation consultancy assists homeowners to tackle the problems themselves.

Philip Smith BA (Hons) MSc (Hons) MRICS, is a chartered building surveyor and qualified teacher with a special interest in sustainability in building design and construction, with a focus on historic buildings. With the assistance of some key advisors, I closely follow new develoments in products for improve sustainability and energy efficiency in the home.

Phil's goal is to help people to respond pro-actively as individuals to the scientists' reports of human-induced climate change and other environmental issues. He believes we should tackle global warming at a grass roots level by minimising our carbon footprint and trying harder to live sustainably, and live in harmony with nature. The SRC project will assist homeowners to reduce the carbon emissions created by their homes (as well as their fuel bills) by advising on how to make their homes more energy efficient, and on more sustainable building practice and materials. We have a common sense approach to reducing waste, especially with regard to energy conservation. This goes hand in hand with cost saving. SRC facilitates renovation work that will achieve this. SRC seeks to make the most of whatever sources of private and public funding are available, and do whatever we can ourselves.

Phil has a background in building surveying, sustainability, teaching and modern languages. He studied an MSc Surveying course and specialised in sustainable renovation of Victorian houses, the so-called "hard-to-treat" houses, notably those in conservation areas where it is harder to gain planning permission for some renovation work, gaining experience in refurbishment of historic buildings and eventually getting RICS chartered status.

Phil will also offer presentations and interactive seminars for businesses, schools and other establishments. With Phil's previous long-standing background in teaching, he was in a strong position to present the key principles of sustainability, sustainable building and sustainable living.

With his background in modern languages and having grown up in London, Phil is well-suited to assisting people from overseas with a range of projects and services.
