Who You’ll be Working With
John has 25 years international geosciences and engineering project management experience ranging from oil exploration to water resource management. He is a Chartered Engineer and formed Carbon Zero Consulting in 2007 by merging his business, Envireau, with that of JDIH (Water & Environment Ltd). His mix of engineering, water resource management and borehole expertise is perfectly suited to the growing demands of the Ground-Source Heating market which requires high quality, independent advice on hydrogeology, engineering, water quality and legislative issues.
James’ career as an international consultant spans over 20 years. He is a Chartered Geologist and Hydrogeologist specialising in water resources and mining / quarrying solutions and has had close involvement with thermogeology and legislative input to many of the UK’s larger open-loop schemes. James regularly presents key papers at UK and international conferences and is actively involved in the running of professional and special interest organisations.
Chris is a Chartered Geologist and project manager, with an MSc in Environment, Management and Sustainable Development and has experience in contaminated land assessment, quarry dewatering and the installation of groundwater supply and monitoring systems. Chris has project managed and supervised the siting and construction of ground-source heating and water supply boreholes in a range of geological settings, both open loop and closed loop.
Penny is an MSc graduate Hydrogeologist with experience in groundwater resources feasibility studies; production borehole construction and test pumping supervision; data collation; analytical and numerical modelling; thermogeological modelling and GIS operation and management.
Phil worked for 5 years in Scientific Research at the University of Utrecht, on a research project funded by the Dutch Scientific Organisation and assisted in university-level lecturing and training courses. After his return to the UK, Phil has worked as a Hydrogeologist on many large-scale projects including land remediation. He has since joined Carbon Zero Consulting specialising in ground source heating project management, assessment and modelling. Phil leads our Northern office.
Tamsin is an Environmental Biologist and Water Resources Management specialist with a wide experience of abstraction licensing issues, abstraction licence applications, flood risk assessment and the supporting environmental impact assessments. Tamsin has been actively involved in the successful negotiation of difficult licence applications and resolving water-related problems associated with planning applications. Tamsin leads our Welsh office.
Lee is an MSc graduate Hydrogeologist with a diverse background spanning several disciplines, including Construction Engineering and an MSc in Exploration Geophysics. Lee has a key role in flood risk assessment and hydrogeological due diligence projects, as well as modelling and numerical analysis.
ASSOCIATES
Dave trained as a hydrogeologist and now has over 22 years professional experience from all sectors: consultancy, research, public and academia. It was also while in Norway that Dave first became interested in ground source heating and cooling. Like many converts to this cause, Dave was at first disbelieving and it took several months to convince him that heat pumps really did work! On his return to the UK in 1998, Dave took up the challenge of persuading Britons that ground source heating and cooling could also be of relevance to their chilly island. The majority of Dave’s work at present involves some form of thermogeological consultancy and training.
Dave has attempted to place the nascent earth science of thermogeology on a rigorous, documented footing via his new book "An Introduction to Thermogeology: Ground Source Heating and Cooling", published by Wiley in 2008.
