The Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre (SBEnrc) Australia is an industry-government-research collaboration focused on improving Australia’s built environment. The Centre develops projects guided by industry member needs, secures national funding, manages collaborative research, and leads research-into-practice initiatives.
SBEnrc Australia is the longest-serving built environment research alliance in the country. Its Core Members include ATLAS, the Western Australian, Queensland and New South Wales Governments, Sunshine Coast Council, Curtin University, The University of Queensland, Western Sydney University and RMIT University, all represented on the Centre’s Governing Board.
SBEnrc Australia builds on the research network established by the Cooperative Research Centre for Construction Innovation (CRCci), which delivered more than 100 industry research projects from 2001 to 2009. CRCci fostered innovation and collaboration across the built environment, with research spanning building materials, procurement, construction processes, digital engineering/BIM, energy efficiency and environmental performance.
Since 2010, SBEnrc Australia has continued this legacy, partnering with industry, government and research institutions to apply practical research outcomes that improve industry practice and strengthen Australia’s competitiveness.
