Key Research Projects
Research at the Barbara Hardy Institute is collaborative and multidisciplinary. We work across a broad spectrum of disciplines that are fundamental to the sustainability of our society, and both natural and built environments. Researchers are involved in a number of Australian Research Council funded projects, Cooperative Research Centres, and conduct research and consultancy for various international, national, state and local government and industry interests.
Key Barbara Hardy Institute projects are listed on each page for our research capabilities.
Icon Projects
Icon Projects involve large-scale multidisciplinary research. They bring together Barbara Hardy Institute researchers with community and industry partners to deliver exciting and novel research with a wide range of practical outcomes. These projects reflect the ethos of the Institute - to work together on complex issues around sustainability. Our three current Icon Projects are:
- 'Sustainable in-fill development
using low-carbon CLT prefabrication: Adaptation for
the Australian context'
Project leader: Steffen Lehmann - 'Adelaide: Fire and Natural
Hazards' Book
Project leader: Chris Daniels - 'Towards electricity
without fossil fuels: finding the best mix of
renewables, demand management and storage'
Project leaders: John Boland and Phil Weinstein
