The Future Homes Hub is a UK-based, not-for-profit organisation that unites homebuilders, housing associations, supply chains, and government to accelerate the transition to sustainable, low-carbon new homes and developments. Ian was the principal author of the Future Homes Hub's New Homes Environmental Metrics. Published in 2025, these provide a standardised framework for measuring and reporting on the sustainability of new homes, initially focusing on five core areas: Carbon, Energy, Water, Nature, and Waste. Developed with the homebuilding sector, these metrics offer a consistent, simplified language for developers, investors, and regulators to track environmental performance, support green finance, and meet evolving standards.

Climate Investment (CI) is its independently managed investment firm, focused on funding and scaling technologies for decarbonising high-emission sectors like energy, industry, transport, and buildings to help achieve net-zero goals. CI invests in innovative companies, promoting early deployment and market adoption of their solutions. “Ian has supported the work of Climate Investment’s construction portfolio, leveraging his network, providing strategic advice, and updating our companies on the Future Homes Standard” Myfanwy Wolf, Commercialisation Director, Climate Investment
