Prof Colin Porteous is an architect and researcher whose interest extends to energy-efficient design moved from practice to in-depth research. In 1981, he became active in the international solar community and then a full-time academic in 1986 after leading a community technical aid centre. He linked problems of fuel poverty to passive solar solutions via EU-funded Easthall Demonstration Project in early 1990s. Prof Porteous initiated the Mackintosh Environmental Architecture Research Unit (MEARU) in 1993. He is the author of [i]THE NEW eco-ARCHITECTURE[/i] (2002) and [i]Solar Architecture in Cool Climates[/i] (2005), and has contributed a chapter to [i]Sensing a Historic Low-CO2 Future[/i] (2011).
