Executive Summary Australia will begin to meet the government’s emission reduction targets, in part, when builders and tradespeople construct high performance buildings to energy efficient design specifications based on proven construction techniques, tested products and technology solutions leading to net-zero energy homes. Designers, builders and tradespeople have an opportunity to significantly contribute to high-efficiency construction through design construction methods and technological solutions, while reducing builders’ costs through material and labour efficiency. These efficiencies are gained by: • Understanding and applying systems and life cycle thinking • Understanding and implementing building science methods to increase construction and resource efficiency while decreasing operational energy demand and securing structural durability, as well as ensuring the health and safety of the construction team and the occupants • Fully valuing the necessary add-on high technology solutions that harness natural resources to complete net-zero energy buildings. A number of the key strategic training areas are currently being developed, revised, or are in need of development and revision, across industry sectors as a result of changes in government policy and regulations. This offers an opportunity for training to be developed to support a consistent long-term approach using industry standards that bridge the built environment from design, construction to the performance testing buildings post-construction. In Australia, there are few peak bodies providing training in the area of sustainable or green building with even fewer offering domestic green building training specific to tradespeople, project and site managers, builders, and developers. The most closely related national training standard is ‘Build thermally efficient and sustainable structures’, which is a great introduction to passive design, home sustainability approaches and material selection. This training could be broadened to meet industry needs with a further integration of building science principles and practices with a systems approach to construction. Although, additional accredited training for new and/or existing homes also requires integrated project management and trade specific knowledge and skills supporting technology integration for energy efficiency and net-zero energy homes, and lastly post-construction home performance assessments. Existing building practitioners and the next generation of practitioners require knowledge and skills to build airtight, high-efficiency homes with adequate air exchanges through ventilation to avoid future liability suits, increased health risks and deterioration of our building stock due to inadequate moisture management. We must look at going beyond the current design and introductory levels of building resource efficiency and expand into high-efficiency construction through building science practices to mitigate our local and global risks. Our building practitioners currently require foundation and advanced-level building science knowledge and skills with hands-on training delivery to meet the expectations of industry, government and, most importantly, our homeowners in the immediate future. This Fellowship report highlights American programs, training and practices that could further advance Australia into the next generation of net-zero energy homes through collaboration and support across: • Government policy and incentives • Research and workforce development • Education and demonstration projects • Industry standards, metrics, certification, and public recognition of best practice.

  • Developers' Price Setting Behaviour in Urban Residential Redevelopment
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/1753-9269.htm ’ Urban Developers price setting residential behaviour in urban residential redevelopment redevelopment projects projects Rolf Barlindhaug 71 Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research, Department for Housing-, Place- and Regional Research (NIBR), Oslo and Received 22 March 2017 Revised 17 August 2017 Akershus University College, Oslo, Norway, and 12 November 2017 17 November 2017 Berit Irene Nordahl 20 November 2017 Accepted 21 November 2017 Faculty for Landscape and Society, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Ås, Norway Abstract Purpose – This paper aims to investigate whether developers’ ask lower prices on homes in redevelopment sites than they do on similar units in smaller developments completed over a shorter time span. It also investigates whether developers price units differently at different stages of the redevelopment process. The development of designated redevelopment areas often consists of multiple projects spread across several years, some in parallel, some sequential. New units are put on the market in a piecemeal fashion, and infrastructure, shared green spaces and shared facilities are installed successively. Design/methodology/approach – A hedonic price model is used to analyse sales prices of 7,000 new apartments in Oslo sold between 2011 and 2015, all else being equal. The paper distinguishes between infill as one-stage projects, and multi-staged competitive and multi-staged monopolistic redevelopments. Findings – Dwellings in redevelopment projects sell at a lower price than similar dwellings in infill projects. In competitive redevelopments, those in charge of the last projects put a slightly higher price on apartments.

  • Chapter 3: Plan Framework
    The City of Clewiston CRA Community Redevelopment Plan (1 st Draft) Chapter 3: Plan Framework Figure 3.1 Venture Ave Corridor “True communities do not just occur; they are born of a vision” Introduction This chapter of the Clewiston CRA Community Redevelopment Plan discusses the CRA’s land use patterns and trends and addresses future redevelopment of the CRA. This information is designed to help the CRA advisory Board and the Clewiston City Commission sitting as the CRA Board make informed decisions about how to grow in the future. Location Clewiston, Florida is located in Eastern Hendry County, in Florida’s rural interior on the southwest shore of Lake Okeechobee, 26.75N -80.94 W, 61 miles west of West Palm Beach and 62 miles east of Fort Myers. It is the larger of two incorporated cities in Hendry County, the other being LaBelle. U.S. Highway 27, which in Clewiston is SR80, bisects the city. U.S. Highway 27 is Florida’s central artery from Tallahassee to Miami. Brief History The first inhabitants of Clewiston were local Indians who camped on the shores of Lake Okeechobee and fished for the lake’s abundance of fish. This is still a major draw to the region, with modern fishermen taking advantage of the Roland Martin Marina and Resort as well as other fishing guides. The current site of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regional office served as a base of operations for scores of professional fishermen as late as the 1920's. The Clewiston area also attracted its share pioneer farmers, most notably a temporary settlement of Japanese farmers who began to grow vegetables in the fertile lakeside soil in about 1915.

CHANDLER DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2019 Copyright © by Anthony K. Chandler All Rights Reserved II ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I would like to give all honor and praise to God for blessing me along the way of this journey and without His grace, none of this would be possible. I would also like to thank all my family and friends who have helped and encouraged me to continue and achieve, not only this pursuit, but also all the other endeavors I have undertaken. A special appreciation is given to Dr. Andershir Anjomani, who has been my advisor throughout this educational expedition and all the difficulties and victories that have occurred during this time. My final and greatest appreciation goes to my mother, Willie Mae Chandler. This accomplishment and others have been just a small token that I can give back for the boundless sacrifices given to me. Her countless words of prayer, encouragement, reassurance, and inspiration have helped me so many times when my faith alone seemed to wane. To her, my Mother, I say thank you with all that I have, I love you with all my heart and job well done.

  • Property Boundary Change for Residential Development: a Study of Brisbane, Australia
    Property Boundary Change for Residential Development: A study of Brisbane, Australia Rachel Gallagher LLB (Hons IIA); BSc (Geographical Sciences) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences 1 Abstract To help counter the negative impacts of urban sprawl, the Queensland Government has introduced a policy of urban consolidation whereby Brisbane has a target of 94% of new dwellings being from infill development (Department of Local Government, Infrastructure and Planning 2017). Infill is the development within existing urban boundaries, and to reach such a level requires not only a transformation of the dwelling types being constructed (for example, a change in preference for detached houses to apartments), but also a transformation of the urban structure of the city. Like many metropolitan strategies, however, greenfield development within existing local government boundaries is included as meeting urban consolidation targets. Undeveloped land within existing urban boundaries is a finite resource meaning that, once such greenfield sites are utilised, infill of existing residential areas, or greyfield development, will be crucial at meeting urban consolidation targets by redeveloping existing urban areas at higher densities. Despite overarching planning schemes aimed at densifying existing urban areas, infill development in Australia is generally informal, lacking any specific government policy focus or intervention. Little scholarly research is available on how urban consolidation targets and infill are to be achieved in a practical sense. Multiple dwellings such as apartment buildings are denser and taller, therefore requiring larger footprints than a single dwelling. Due to the small size of existing residential lots, amalgamation is often required if properties are to redevelop at higher densities.
