Funded Activity Summary

Energy-saving design: investigation of the thermal performance of rammed earth residential buildings. Housing people in Australian remote communities is energy intensive. This is particularly true in hot regions, where the house running costs are significant due to air-conditioning units functioning 24 hours a day, for most of the year. Rammed earth houses in dry-arid climate zones should not require any air-conditioning in summer. This project aims to investigate the optimal thermal performance of two occupied houses using a novel sensor network. It aims to deliver new evidence on the thermal performance of rammed earth buildings to inform energy-efficiency decision frameworks and enhance the wellbeing of Indigenous communities in hot regions.
