Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES) are appointing Christine Mullin as the new CEO, as current CEO and founder Don McLean moves to a non-executive director role
Before taking on the role of new IES CEO, Christine held senior roles within Microsoft UK, Dext, MetaPack, and Bookatable.
This gives her years of experience in scaling operations which will be brought to IES in their global expansion in sustainable construction.
“An important moment for the business”
Christine Mullin, CEO of IES, said: “IES has an exceptional reputation for innovation and impact, having enabled the energy-efficient design, retrofit and operation of some of the most well-known buildings and infrastructure projects in the world. In doing so, we have empowered countless architecture, engineering and construction firms, building owners and operators to reduce costs, enhance the occupant experience, and lower the carbon impact of our global built environment.
“What drew me to IES is the same thing that drives everyone here – a belief in the power of our technology to make a tangible difference by optimising the energy performance of buildings and infrastructure worldwide, helping to enable a truly sustainable planet. With demand for intelligent climate tech solutions only growing globally, this is an important moment for the business. I’m honoured to get the opportunity to build on Don’s remarkable legacy, working with the outstanding IES team and our broader network of industry partners to lead IES into its next phase of growth. Together, we can empower more organisations to make confident, data-driven decisions that help decarbonise the built environment at scale.”
Dr Don McLean, founder and non-executive director at IES, said: “When I founded IES just over 31 years ago, the conversation around buildings was only beginning to recognise the importance of energy security and environmental impact. Since then, we’ve seen the climate agenda move to the centre of global policy and business, and I’m proud that IES has played an important role in that transformation.
“From pioneering the use of digital technology in building performance to contributing to major global projects, the company has always been driven by innovation and a determination to make a difference. I am so proud of everything that we have achieved so far. But there is still much more to do if we are to meet the pressing challenges our society faces when it comes to mitigating the worst impacts of climate change and the role that our buildings play within that.
“While I remain committed to furthering the decarbonisation of our global built environment, now feels the right time to hand over the reins to Christine, whose experience, vision, and drive will help to take IES into its next exciting phase. I look forward to supporting her and the team as IES continues its vital mission.”
IES are aiding the advancement of retrofit technology
Writing for PBC Today in March, Don McLean, then-CEO of IES, discussed recent advancements in retrofit technology, and how much of a necessity said-technology is.
Don wrote: “As climate targets tighten, energy costs continue to rise, and the real-world impacts of climate change come to the fore, retrofitting the built environment will only grow in importance. Yet achieving meaningful impact will require a holistic, data-led approach that respects each building’s originality. Digital twins, underpinned by advanced energy modelling and real-time performance data, will remain crucial in guiding these efforts.
“From supporting evidence-based decision-making at the project outset to ensuring upgrades continue delivering results long after implementation, simulation-driven tools represent the future of sustainable building management. The path to net zero lies not only in faster retrofitting but in smarter retrofitting. By embracing technology and tailoring interventions to each building’s specific needs, the built environment can deliver lasting environmental and economic benefits.”
