These resources cover design and construction of sustainable buildings, resilient structures, green construction, sustainability legislation, and green energy.
Specifies requirements for flood-resistant design and construction of buildings that are subject to the NCC requirements and that are located, in whole or in part, in flood hazard areas.
The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of how the BASIX engine works to estimate energy and water consumption in houses and apartments, and how these outputs can be used to inform design decisions.
This Industry Guidance for Flood Resilient Homes provides information about improving the flood resilience of new and existing Queensland homes.
Outlines the peer review process which can be used as a compliance option for assessing the energy equivalence (thermal performance) of new houses and major renovations (where practical) in Queensland.
Provides building certifiers with guidance about special fire services as defined in Schedule 2 of the Building Act 1975, and the jurisdiction of referral agencies in Schedule 7, Table 1, Item 1 of the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009.
This research primarily aims to investigate an inclusive list of factors impacting on quality management system deployment in the construction industry building sector by focusing exclusively on the external factors and the critical success factors of project level in order to develop a comprehensive framework of quality management system deployment.
Flood resilient design is one of the many ways Queenslanders can build their resilience to floods.
Assists homeowners, building professionals and local governments in understanding the new part of the Queensland Development Code (QDC) for construction of buildings in flood hazard areas.
This research aims to identify the most suitable sustainable construction method for high-rise building construction in Australia; results show that the off-site construction method and robotic construction technique significantly improve the construction performance of high-rise construction in Australia.
Provides methods for determining the performance of external construction elements when exposed to radiant heat, burning embers and burning debris.
