    I am both, if that does not sound like a contradiction. I am an electrical engineer working on heritage building stock and as such I specialise in lighting, fire alarms systems and lightning/surge protection plus all matters connected with electrical systems but I have enough knowledge to comment and advise end users/clients on a wide range of other topics such as heating, ventilation, and public health matters.
