Ross is currently working with the brick industry to help prepare them for doing business in the new carbon-constrained economy. He focuses on issues relating to energy efficiency in the built environment and life cycle assessment, and has a strong interest how the homes and communities beyond the 2020 will operate.
Ross has a BA and Masters of Project Management. From 2005-2008 he worked with the NSW Business Chamber as their Sustainability Policy Adviser educating small and medium businesses of the implications of climate policy.
Ross has a pragmatic approach to climate change, but fundamentally believes we need to change how we produce energy because current methods are inefficient and not in-line with 21st century aspirations of the Australian and global economy.

We intend to move from our double brick home, which has never required artificial cooling. We are apprehensive about building a "project" home. Is it economically feasible to build an energy efficient brick home? The possible surfeit of "brickies" prompts this notion.
