[edit]Oreszczyn has been involved in over 170 research publications. He has given evidence to the House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee on Energy Efficiency, co-authored two papers for special issues of the Lancet on Energy and Health[2][3] and prepared three papers for a State of Science Review for the Office of Science and Innovation. He has provided research support for the development of the English and Welsh Building Regulations and presented at invited public and academic lectures at the Royal Society[4] and the Royal Institution.[5]
Affiliations
