Freya Wise

Freya is a PhD student investigating ways to reduce carbon emissions from residential heritage buildings in Cumbria while still retaining their heritage values. She started her PhD with The Open University in October 2018. Prior to this she completed an Open Degree with the OU and a Master of Literature at the University of Glasgow. She is really enjoying her PhD as it combines two areas which she is very interested in; history and sustainability. Her project is multidisciplinary as she is looking at peoples’ opinions and behaviour as well as the technical aspects of building performance. She has found OU study to be remarkably good preparation for doing a PhD as it develops your ability to study independently and manage your own learning.
