Project leader name: 
Prof. Peter Newman
Project status: 
Current
Project period: 
07/2014 to 07/2017

This research is intended to inform government policy to drive transformation of the built environment market in the wider context of CRCLCL research, addressing technological and societal change processes. It will examine the role of best practice building codes, standards and regulations as a catalyst for transitioning to low carbon living.

It is intended that the results of this project be used to enable government and agencies involved in the development and implementation of international building codes to develop improved policies and standards.
