Our partners
Partners
Delivering research that made a difference relied heavily on successful collaboration between the CRC for Low Carbon Living and its valued partners.
We had 45 active partners across a multitude of disciplines. They spanned three essential sectors: industry, government and research.
Industry
Our industry partners included Australian companies, professional associations and industry peak bodies across a range of different sectors; such as property developers, materials suppliers, energy specialists, architects, engineers, builders and construction.
Government
We also partnered with Australian federal site and state government organisations across a range of areas; including planning and development, councils, utilities, energy and resources.
Research
Several Australian and international universities and research organisations joined us as partners. All were committed to creating a sustainable future and leading research in fields related to policy, technology, built environment, software and engaging with the community.
Our key partners were:
Industry
Property Council of Australia
Property Council of Australia
The Property Council of Australia is the leading advocate for Australia’s biggest industry and biggest employer – property.
The industry represents 13% of Australia's GDP, employs 1.4 million Australians (more than mining and manufacturing combined) and secures the future of 14.8 million Australians who have a financial stake in property through their super funds.
For partner-related projects
Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council
Australian Sustainable Built Environment
The Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC) is the peak body of key organisations committed to a sustainable built environment in Australia.
ASBEC’s membership consists of industry and professional associations, non-government organisations and government observers who are involved in the planning, design, delivery and operation of our built environment, and are concerned with the social and environmental impacts of this sector.
ASBEC provides a forum for diverse groups involved in the built environment to gather, find common ground and intelligently discuss contentious issues as well as advocate their own sustainability products, policies and initiatives.
ASBEC is a non-profit volunteer organisation. Members commit their time, resources and energy to developing practical opportunities for a more sustainable built environment.

"Our CRC participants are at the forefront of carbon saving initiatives in the Australian built environment. We already have a number of world leading examples of low carbon development at both Precinct (eg Lochiel Park) and individual building (eg Josh’s House) scale. The CRC can bring its monitoring and analysis capability to help capture and disseminate these success stories. And we’re not stopping there. This project has helped scope out an ongoing framework of research, focussing on engaging with Living Laboratory Communities to co-create new cutting edge developments that exemplify our shared low carbon living future” Stephen White, Energy for Buildings Manager for CSIRO.
