#18 Long-span Low-Carbon Floor Systems (Scoping Study)

CRC#18 addresses the lack of data-informed product evaluation methods in construction, through the benchmarking of nine long-span, low carbon floor systems.

The key outcomes of the research point towards a logic and workflow that could be applied to any productised building element, involving:

product mapping according to material and element type
visualisation of high level benchmarking findings for use during early building design
synthesis of detailed benchmarking findings to enable transparent discussion of decision priorities

This framework can be used as the basis for: further product benchmarking; evaluation and selection of most suitable products given an explicit set of selection priorities; and future product design development.

Researchers on the project included: Ivana Kuzmanovska, Mizan Ahmed, Mehrdad Arashpour,
Victor Bunster, Victor Chang, Lariza de Guzman, Tom Heath, Enzo Lara-Hamilton, Duncan Maxwell, Declan Murphy, Sejuti Saha, Angela Solarte, Jenny Zhou, Stephen Go, Felix Hui, Wen Li, Richard Nero, Tuan Ngo, Tuan Nguyen, Tai Thai & Muhammad Wasim.
