Andy Dengel

Andy is currently Director of Environment in the Building Technology Group at BRE.

He gained a PhD and postdoctoral research experience in chemistry at Imperial College London, publishing extensively on the structures, properties and catalytic oxidising abilities of transition metal complexes.

Andy then spent the next 16 years of his career working in and managing contract analytical laboratories. Starting with drinking water analysis, this took in food and consumer product analysis at a Public Analyst laboratory and latterly the operational/site management of a growing suite of contaminated land/water laboratories for ALcontrol.

Since joining BRE in 2006 Andy has led the IAQ and Chemical Assessment teams, and in 2008 also assumed overall responsibility for the other BRE environmental engineering and consultancy teams (HVAC, Air Pollution, Lighting and Environmental Noise) and in 2013 he became Deputy to the Director of BRE’s 70-strong Building Technology Group.

In particular Andy leads BRE’s research and consultancy activities regarding the physical monitoring of indoor environments, including POE work, monitoring of aircraft cabins, and reactive response to problems encountered in occupied buildings. This includes participation in collaborative research projects for the BRE Trust, NHBC Foundation, UK TSB (MATIN, 2013-15) and EU FP7 (ECO-SEE, 2013-17, led by the University of Bath). Several facets of this work have led to Andy resuming his publishing career after a hiatus of 17 years. As part of the BRE Trust Future Cities research programme Andy led a major 3-year project (2012-15) regarding development and implementation of indoor environment testing protocols in hospitals, care homes, social housing, offices and schools. Currently he is leading a BRE Trust Resilience research programme (2015-17) on overheating in residential dwellings.
