Chris Finneral – Consulting Engineer
Chris started work at Breathing Buildings in 2009 after completing a four year degree in engineering at Cambridge University. In his final year of study he specialised in Environmental and Civil engineering where he developed a passion for low energy building design.
“Natural Ventilation has moved on a lot from “just open a window”. When designed well, naturally ventilated buildings can be comfortable throughout the year and use a fraction of the energy of their mechanical counterparts.”

He also undertakes consultancy studies, looking at both existing and new build schemes.

Pre-university, David worked at Martin-Baker Aircraft on ejection seat system simulation, and was the joint winner of the national Year in Industry "Contribution to the Business Award".
"We can help produce practical schemes for a really wide range of buildings, even those that on the face of it look challenging for natural ventilation."
