Modelling environmental and financial performance of construction

该项目将调查建筑设计过程中与决策相关的环境和财务参数之间的关系。这项研究的结果将有助于建筑行业向生态可持续性转变。我们将提供一种方法，让建造业更全面地评估与建筑设计决策有关的环境影响。总的来说，这将导致一个更有效的建筑行业，解决方案将同时根据环境和财务标准进行评估。因此，该项目与“环境可持续发展的澳大利亚：改造现有工业”这一优先领域保持一致。

This project will investigate the relationships between environmental and financial parameters associated with decisions made during the building design process. The outcomes of this research will assist the construction industry to transform itself towards ecological sustainability. We will provide a means by which the construction industry can more comprehensively assess the environmental impacts associated with building design decisions. In general, this will lead to a more effective construction industry, with solutions being evaluated simultaneously against environmental and financial criteria. The project is thus aligned with the priority area: An Environmentally Sustainable Australia: Transforming existing industries.
