Project Description
The project aims to reduce carbon emissions through research and application of integrated sustainable infrastructure in the existing built environment that could be replicated on existing and new building estates (e.g. housing, education, healthcare and other building estates). The project outputs will assist (a) the adaptation to changing climate by strengthening the resilience of buildings and infrastructure, and by reducing fuel poverty; (b) mitigation of the impacts of changing climate by influencing the development of skills and capacities for planning, designing, procuring, managing and maintaining low carbon built environment; (c) security of supply of energy and resources by maximizing the use of local low carbon resources and independence of supply systems; and (d) development of methods dissemination to present the innovations to building owners/clients, industry and colleges.
