Professor Glew is Director of the Leeds Sustainability Institute and Professor of Sustainable Buildings at Leeds Beckett University.

He manages and oversees large interdisciplinary projects and supervises a range of doctoral students, across the institute's three research themes of Sustainable Behaviour, Sustainable Buildings and Sustainable Urban Environments.

The LSI are specialists in Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) field trial research projects, investigating performance gaps and unintended consequences of new low carbon buildings and retrofits. They undertake a range of research methods including the coheating test, QUB tests, air leakage detection, air tightness assessments, in use monitoring of energy and smart meter data and indoor air quality, modelling to assess energy use in buildings (including Energy Performance Certificates), and to perform damp and mould risk assessments. His team also explore the potential of behaviour change techniques to encourage healthier or more sustainable choices and understand occupant experiences in homes.
