Darren Evans

Darren Evans is the author of The Sustainability Advantage: Systematic Solutions for Sustainable Construction and Design, an Amazon UK bestseller. He is the founder and director of Darren Evans Ltd, a certified B Corp sustainability consultancy near Bristol that he set up in 2007. For nearly two decades he has helped contractors, developers and housebuilders deliver BREEAM, energy and carbon targets on real projects, including the award-winning Zed House with Barratt and the University of Salford.

Darren studied under Stanford professor BJ Fogg, one of the world's leading experts on behaviour design, and applies that behaviour science to construction. His view is simple: the industry doesn't struggle with sustainability because people don't care. It struggles because it relies on motivation, and motivation is fragile. Ability can be designed. His work makes the sustainable, compliant route the easiest route to take.

Outside work, Darren was a foster parent for 15 years and mentors young people.
