Remembering Harry Bruhns

In late August 2011 Harry Bruhns, Principal Research Associate within the UCL Energy Institute, sadly lost his long battle with cancer.

Having joined University College London in 1999, Harry initially worked at the Bartlett before becoming one of the founders of the UCL Energy Institute when it was formed in 2009.

Before moving to the UK from his home country of New Zealand in the early 1990s, Harry was awarded a Master of Science in Physics at Canterbury University (New Zealand) and then joined Victoria University (Wellington) as a Research Fellow.  At the Open University, Harry’s first role in the UK, work with the Department of Environment saw the beginning of many projects for the government.

Harry dedicated his working life to analysing building energy and floor area data and his extensive work underpinned the building industry in the UK for the past 20 years. He will be greatly missed within UCL and the wider industry.
