Energy Efficiency. Engineered by Science.

Dr. Russell Layberry is a PhD physicist with 30 years in environmental science and energy work. I’ve spent 15 years focused on building energy management, including a decade as Chief Science Officer at Pilio (2011–2024). There, I audited over 250 buildings—think arts spaces like Curzon Cinemas, galleries, offices, even YMCAs—and helped shape sustainability for 800+ Arts Council organizations.

Before that, I was a Senior Researcher at Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute for 15 years, modeling energy systems, building remote monitoring tools, and exploring demand response. I’m a Certified Energy Manager, a qualified electrician, and a heat pump installer, so I mix practical tech with the bigger picture.

Now, with Oxford Energy Services, I’m offering energy audits, decarbonisation plans, and a touch of AI insight—all based on what I’ve learned over the years. If you’ve got an energy challenge, let’s figure it out.
