Vivienne is currently Deputy Head of the UCD School of Architecture and Director of the UCD Energy Research Group. Vivienne is a Lecturer in Architectural Design and Technology and leads the second year Architectural Technology studio programme in Architecture. Qualified as an architectural technologist and architect, with long-term experience in architectural practice in the design, construction, and site supervision of buildings, Vivienne left architectural practice to join the UCD Energy Research Group in 1994. Since joining UCD ERG Vivienne has developed, coordinated, managed and participated in European and national research and design projects with a focus on improving the built environment and completed post graduate research on sustainable building design and construction procedures in Ireland. |
| Director, Energy Research Group Vivienne's research and teaching focuses on supporting undergraduate and post graduate students, the architectural profession and the wider construction industry to meet the challenge for design teams today in delivering truly sustainable buildings - to create smarter buildings (technology optimised performance) which provide better value for owners and occupiers with improved internal environmental quality (thermal, visual and acoustic) while being resource efficient (materials, energy, water) and minimizing the impact on the natural environment (waste, emissions).
