Summary
Tristan Gerrish is an engineer with nine years' experience specialising in building performance, energy consumption and occupant comfort, currently an Associate at Buro Happold based in Bath. He combines computational design, dynamic thermal modelling and CFD expertise to drive performance optimisation across complex non-domestic projects. Tristan has a research background (EngD) in applying BIM for building performance management and a track record of developing automation tools and workflows that boost team productivity and reduce duplication. He mentors colleagues, leads technical training in visual programming and data processing, and regularly translates complex simulation results into actionable design guidance. Colleagues value his blend of hands-on modelling skill and systems-thinking—he often uncovers performance opportunities early in design through pragmatic data-driven approaches.
