He is currently researching in the fields of smart homes technology and architecture, human experience and comfort of their environment, sustainable communities, and hygrothermal performance of buildings.

Jon has worked on research projects within Edinburgh Napier University since 2008 where he completed his PhD on occupant energy behaviour change with smart display technology. Jon leads on a number of national research projects whilst supporting and contributing to international research projects.

Jon has worked on research projects in partnership with Historic Environment Scotland, National Trust for Scotland (NTS), Edinburgh World Heritage Trust, Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation (ECCI), 8 Scottish Social Housing Associations and 10 Scottish SMEs. This work involved the research and development of innovative products, services, policies and procedures.
