Remembering Edward Murphy: 8th February 1962 – 25th July 2023

Edward Murphy

Edward (known to his colleagues as Eddie) was a passionate and committed supporter of IBPSA-England. He always saw value in everyone’s work and was quick to recognise connections between academic research and commercial opportunities. Founder of Ollio The Building Performance Consultancy and former Technical Director at Mott MacDonald, he valued research and researchers at all levels and as a result became the “academic’s friend” as well as an astute businessman. He was a sharp, highly intelligent man who always had time for people. He was instrumental in establishing IBPSA-England and much of the UK activity associated with ASHRAE, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers. There are many people in the energy and building services sector who will always be grateful for their discussions with Eddie.
