Overview
- Identifies innovative and effective pathways for decarbonising the built environment from applied research undertaken by the Co-Operative Research Centre for Low Carbon Living
- Addresses three grand socio-technical challenges: transition to renewable energy, transition to low carbon built environment and transition to low carbon human behavior – and their interrelationships
- Identifies the most prospective opportunities for change in how cities and their built environments are designed, built and operated and where activities and behaviours of governments, businesses and residents need to change to radically reduce carbon and ecological footprints and reverse global warming
