Integrated Autonomous Housing for Remote Australian Communities: Analysis, Synthesis and Testing

在偏远的采矿社区，很少考虑住房的舒适度或能源效率——服务没有优化到最大限度地减少温室气体排放、水消耗和固体废物。该项目将通过结合必和必拓和纽卡斯尔大学的资源来开发一个偏远住房模型，解决这些环境问题和相关的社会问题。该项目旨在设计和测试一个集成的低冲击或自主移动房屋。这项研究的结果适用于偏远的防御地点，小农村乡镇和土著社区以及国际出口。

At remote mining communities, little consideration is given to comfort or energy efficiency in housing - services have not been optimised to minimise greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and solid waste. This project will address these environmental issues and the associated social problems by combining the resources of BHP Billiton and the University of Newcastle to develop a model for remote housing. The project aims to design and test an integrated low impact or autonomous transportable house. The results of this research are applicable to remote defence sites, small rural townships and Aboriginal communities as well as for international export.
