In partnership with uTecture Australia and Coresteel Buildings, we developed an International Organisation for Standarisation (ISO)-compliant Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework to quantify and communicate the environmental impacts of design support platforms for the building industry.

In parallel, we completed a strategy for Donovan Group and uTecture to become net zero carbon organisations, and conducted comparative LCAs of their building products. The research was funded by the Building 4.0 CRC.
