Program 3: Engaged Communities
The Low Carbon Built Environment Knowledge Hub project is intended to deliver a key goal of the CRC-LCL to increase the access and use of research and evidence by practitioners and policy makers, and to provide an enduring platform for CRC Node of Excellence and partner collaboration. It will do so by curating and providing easy access to a wide range of quality research and resources on Low Carbon Living.
The objective is to establish an online resource that enables access to the outputs of the CRC, provides a collaborative platform for CRC Nodes, and aligns the significant existing Australian and international resources for industry, policy makers, researchers and the public. The Knowledge Hub project will facilitate collaboration between the CRC Nodes of Excellence and Partners to organize and align existing resources and knowledge networks to identify quality publications, data and other resources and make them readily available for reuse via a range of tools.

SP0008 FACTSHEET: Low Carbon Built Environment Knowledge Hub: accessible, concise, authoritative evidence
Our project is developing a knowledge hub solution to connect and make accessible, for policy makers and industry practitioners, the wealth of scattered and highly varied low carbon built environment research
• This solution will:
• narrow the gap between research, policy and practice by facilitating the translation and synthesis of built environment evidence
• present the wide variety of evidence types and formats in an easily accessible way
• include an open access website offering collated content, the ability to contribute research and to connect with people in your specialist field

SP0008e1 FACTSHEET: Evidence-based practice and policy: A systemic review process for the built environment
- Our project will systematically explore the wealth of scattered and highly varied evidence that exists in relation to low carbon built environment research.
- We aim to narrow the gap between research, policy and practice by developing a bespoke approach to synthesising built environment evidence.
- We will draw upon best practice systematic review processes used by other scientific disciplines.
- Practical outputs include protocols, procedural tools and guidelines will be tested across two case study/demonstration projects.
