SBE Australia offers a unique industry-government-research collaboration to improve Australia’s built environment industry. The three research streams focus on environmental, social and economic sustainability, areas identified by national industry stakeholders as the key areas that will drive productivity and industry development in the built environment industry.
Research Program 1: Greening the Built Environment will deliver improved environmental performance across the built environment industry through enhanced ecological efficiencies. These include carbon emission reductions and climate change adaptation of new and existing infrastructure and buildings.
Research Program 2: People, Processes and Procurement will deliver improved operational and business outcomes. Social outcomes will be delivered through minimising health and safety risks; new process models will capture benefits from future technologies, off-site fabrication and mobile construction management, and business will benefit from more integrated project environments.
Research Program 3: Productivity Through Innovation will deliver economic, environmental and social benefits to the built environment industry through reductions in risks and costs and improved productivity associated with complex information management and procurement processes on infrastructure and building projects.
