Foreword
This important new book answers a critical question for Australia’s future. In the urgent quest to ‘decarbonise’ our cities, how will we get there? Over seven years of unprecedented collaboration between Australian researchers and the myriad of industries, businesses and government agencies that shape the way we live, the Co-operative Research Centre for Low Carbon Living (CRCLCL) has charted a clear, new evidence-based course. Decarbonising the Built Environment: Charting the Transition showcases the substantial body of new knowledge generated by the CRCLCL over its funding period from 2012–2019. The core themes and key projects featured reflect the Centre’s ultimate goal. That is, to inform the cost-effective reduction of carbon emissions generated by the built envi
