The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Natural and Artificial Lighting Control Energy and Visual Optimisation for a Low Energy Building. Artificial lighting is highlighted as the most significant area of opportunity to reduce energy as well as greenhouse emission. The application of intergrated daylight design together with artificial lighting control is researched. Control strategies of switching and dimming the artificial daylighting in conjunction with set-point levels, user preferences and daylighting maximisation are measured. T ....Natural and Artificial Lighting Control Energy and Visual Optimisation for a Low Energy Building. Artificial lighting is highlighted as the most significant area of opportunity to reduce energy as well as greenhouse emission. The application of intergrated daylight design together with artificial lighting control is researched. Control strategies of switching and dimming the artificial daylighting in conjunction with set-point levels, user preferences and daylighting maximisation are measured. The goal is to find the most effective saving strategies whilst maintaining visual comfortRead moreRead less
Determination of key parameters and control strategies for fabric energy storage (FES) systems for the various climates of Australia. This research will establish the theoretical basis for the use of advanced fabric energy storage (FES) systems in commercial buildings in Australia. A thermal model of a FES will be developed and then incorporated into a full building model, so that the interaction of the FES with other building elements may be studied. The model will be validated against data fro ....Determination of key parameters and control strategies for fabric energy storage (FES) systems for the various climates of Australia. This research will establish the theoretical basis for the use of advanced fabric energy storage (FES) systems in commercial buildings in Australia. A thermal model of a FES will be developed and then incorporated into a full building model, so that the interaction of the FES with other building elements may be studied. The model will be validated against data from measurements taken in a commercial building. A parametric study will be carried out to determine the optimum control strategy options and design parameters for FES systems in various climates in Australia.Read moreRead less
