Description

A platform for multifaceted climate-adaptive building envelopes. This project aims to develop an innovative, modular product platform for offsite manufacturing of climate-adaptive building façades. Using interdisciplinary approaches and industry know-how, it will generate a core family of plug-and-play components and interfaces, complemented by integrated energy-efficient and -harvesting technologies to enhance heating, cooling, lighting, energy use, and comfort. Outcomes will include new knowledge about eco-conscious façade product design and manufacturing, and a range of adaptive façade products for different climates and markets. Benefits will be commercial opportunities for Australian companies, reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions in construction, and more climate-friendly buildings.. Scheme: Mid-Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 3302 - Building. Lead: Prof Pejman Sharafi
