Tina leads the 'policy and governance' theme in the Centre for Research on Energy Demand Solutions. Her research work within CREDS focuses on policy for further, faster and more flexible delivery of energy demand reduction, particularly in relation to buildings energy use.
She also leads social research in the new Energy Demand Observatory and Laboratory which will establish a national energy data platform to help facilitate the transition to net-zero carbon emissions. Other research focuses on topics including decarbonising of heating and cooling, policy evaluation, energy sufficiency, and climate and energy education and training.
