Demonstrating the feasibility of designing sustainable buildings using evolutionary systems

这项研究中提出的设计方法将产生两个关键的国家利益领域。首先，这项研究将使澳大利亚的建筑环境设计专业在国内和国际市场上变得更具竞争力。对环境友好型建筑的需求日益增长，拟议的设计方法将使澳大利亚公司处于可持续设计的前沿。其次，这项研究将使澳大利亚的建筑环境变得更可持续。拟议的方法将使建筑物能够设计得性能良好、成本效益高，并将对环境的影响降至最低。

The design approach proposed in this research will result in two key areas of national benefit. First, the research will enable Australian built environment design professions to become more competitive in both domestic and international markets. There is a growing demand for environmentally-friendly buildings and the proposed design approach will enable Australian firms to be at the cutting edge of sustainable design. Second, the research will enable the Australian built environment to become more sustainable. The proposed approach will enable buildings to be designed that perform well, that are cost effective and that minimise their environmental impact.
