The design approach proposed in this research will result in two key areas of national benefit. First, the research will enable Australian built environment design professions to become more competitive in both domestic and international markets. There is a growing demand for environmentally-friendly buildings and the proposed design approach will enable Australian firms to be at the cutting edge of sustainable design. Second, the research will enable the Australian built environment to become more sustainable. The proposed approach will enable buildings to be designed that perform well, that are cost effective and that minimise their environmental impact. Read moreRead less

Summary
Advanced Computational Modelling Infrastructure Network in Built Environment. The infrastructure will support and complement existing areas of specialisation at the three collaborating Victorian schools of architecture including research in urban modelling and simulation, building management and life-cycle simulations, spatial decision-making, automated data capture and modelling of complex building geometries for heritage applications.

The infrastructure will support and complement existing areas of specialisation at the three collaborating Victorian schools of architecture including research in urban modelling and simulation, building management and life-cycle simulations, spatial decision-making, automated data capture and modelling of complex building geometries for heritage applications. The broader aim of this network infrastructure is to provide a network of information sharing that will be useful to the built environment professional decision-makers including architects, planners, environmental scientists, geographers, and emergency planners, all of whom we trust will ultimately subscribe to the network once it is established.Read moreRead less
