The project, 'Circular Economy Approaches for Delivering 21st Century Sustainable Buildings,' will capture the learnings from delivering the most sustainable living building in Australia. Designing and constructing such buildings will be explored through real-time research. The study will establish definitive guidelines for delivering the most sustainable buildings in Australia, giving improved understanding of how to create “living buildings”.

Congratulations, Tim!

This is fantastic!

During National Science Week I have had a chance to catch up with some of the first-class scientists and engineers we have in Wollongong. Many are working on new materials for energy generation, transmission and storage at UOW: Intelligent Polymer Research Institute, Sustainable Buildings Research Centre, Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials and other research groups or at spin-out companies like Hysata but all of them are keen to develop and commercialise technology in the Illawarra to support new and existing industries. 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬
