Modelling environmental and financial performance of construction

该项目将调查与建筑设计过程中所作决定相关的环境和财务参数之间的关系。这项研究的成果将有助于建筑业向生态可持续发展转变。我们会提供一个方法，让建造业更全面地评估建筑物设计决定对环境造成的影响。总的来说，这将导致更有效的建筑业，解决方案同时根据环境和财务标准进行评估。因此，该项目符合优先领域：一个环境可持续的澳大利亚：改造现有产业。

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.
