In this series of blogs we go behind the scenes of the partners at the Westmorland and Green Enterprise Hub – in this one we meet Al Muir of AMUIR Surveying
Alasdair has worked in the Lake District’s built environment for 25 years, qualifying as a Building Surveyor in 2004 and gaining his professional charter with the Chartered Institute of Building in 2010. After 16 years with South Lakes District Council, Alasdair has been self-employed concentrating on energy conservation and decarbonisation work in both public and private sectors since 2016.
Qualifications in commercial energy assessment, auditing, heat loss calculation, heat pump sizing and air conditioning assessment have been combined with a background in building condition surveying. This has allowed Alasdair to provide an holistic service when applying low or zero carbon/energy saving measures to existing and often traditionally constructed buildings.
Alasdair has provided such reports for local authorities, schools and colleges, the Energy Savings Trust, Cumbria Police and third sector organisations as well as numerous private commercial agencies throughout the UK.
Alasdair lives in Staveley where he can often be found repairing things with spanner and hammer, and is a slightly lapsed fell runner.
