He is a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College, a member of the Research Committee of the UK Energy Research Centre and Chaired the peer review panel of the DECC Energy Analysis Research Programme. He is a reviewer for several journals, (including the IMechE, Local Environment, Building and the Environment and Journal of Environmental Research) and is a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Sustainable Energy

He is a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College, member of EPSRC prioritisation panels, was a “state of science” peer reviewer for the Foresight and is an external referee for several journals (including Energy Policy, IMechE, Local Environment, Building and the Environment, Journal of Environmental Research, Cities, and International Journal of Sustainable Energy). He has reviewed proposals for ESRC, LARCI, and Scottish Office, Leverhulme, and British Council)

At the Regional level he was chair of the East Midlands Energy Group, a Member of the Overview and Scrutiny Panel for the East Midlands Regional Assembly review of the energy work of the East Midlands Development Agency. He was a member of the Overview and Scrutiny Panels looking at combine heat and power and also building school for the future.
