#110 Circular design strategies for future-proofing building services
This project aims to develop a decision-support model to guide circular design strategies for building services in commercial and mixed-use buildings. By linking early-stage design decisions to long-term cost, carbon and resource impacts, the model will enable better informed, sustainable choices.
The project leverages industry data to help building owners and designers optimise service investments for durability and adaptability, while reducing life cycle environmental impacts. The outcomes will support adoption of circular practices and drive progress towards more resilient, future-ready building assets in Australia.
