Christopher Gorse is a Professor of Construction Engineering and Management at Loughborough University. A distinguished academic leader and building scientist, Professor Gorse specializes in building performance evaluation, construction quality, energy efficiency, and sustainable infrastructure engineering. His extensive research focuses on closing the performance gap between designed and actual energy consumption in buildings, leveraging advanced data analytics, thermal imaging, and AI-driven monitoring. He has directed major government and industry-funded research initiatives investigating building physics, construction compliance, and the structural integrity of real estate assets. Professor Gorse is a widely published authority and regular advisor to policy-makers, professional bodies, and institutional developers, driving the development of rigorous standards that future-proof the built environment, mitigate building defects, and accelerate the transition toward carbon-neutral construction and net-zero property retrofits globally.
