“Professor Brian Norton motivated my research to new levels of excellence, inspiring me to think beyond the limits of convention, to generate new boundaries, always questioned, in an evolving community of inquiry. His enthusiasm for structured exploration in sustainable energy research was the driving force that fueled my passion for research and development of low energy systems for buildings, leading to the award of my PhD and 2 patents, and which continues to inspire me through my professional life, influencing engineering and architectural practices toward a more sustainable design ethos.”
