RP3017: Adelaide Living Laboratory Hub

Project leader name: 
Professor Wasim Saman and Dr Kathryn Davidson
Project status: 
Complete
Project period: 
04/2014 to 04/2018

The project involves the establishment of the Adelaide Living Laboratory to deliver the research agenda across the three living laboratory locations (Tonsley, Bowden and Lochiel Park) in Adelaide through a co-creation methodology. This is consistent with the requirements and intent of the CRCLCL living laboratory program. As such, the emphasis is on engaging the diverse communities of the three sites and developing low carbon solutions with demonstrated outcomes for a diverse range of infrastructure and users.

It will provide an opportunity to fully integrate the research program and projects across programs one, two and three in one location (Adelaide). 

The project is an action research project that will inform communities and the building, construction and development industries. It will provide an evidence base that can then be rolled out nationally to enable significant reduction of carbon emissions of the building and construction development sector and urban communities
