These resources cover design and construction of sustainable buildings, resilient structures, green construction, sustainability legislation, and green energy.
The purpose of this report is to summarise the circular economy opportunities for South Australia, based on a national and international review of current policies, approaches and case studies.
This TECHnote highlights design and construction issues for consideration and suggests suitable NATSPEC worksections for the documentation of living walls and roofs.
There are a number of national environmental rating schemes in place in Australia that can be used to understand how efficiently a building is operating as well as measure and reduce its impact on the environment.
This TECHnote includes information useful in satisfying the NCC Energy efficiency provisions for Class 2 to 9 buildings. The NCC objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy efficiency. Operational energy is currently the focus of the NCC. Embodied energy may be considered in the future for sustainability controls.
Our second edition of Sustainable Design Trends, this time for 2021.
Bushfires are a feature of the Australian environment. The impact of bushfire on life and property can be reduced with responsible preparation and bushfire management plans. Bushfire hazards exist not only in rural areas but also at the rural and urban interface, for example areas adjacent to parks, public reserves and golf courses.
