My principal focus in research could be simply described as ecotechnology. Sustainability in the Built Environment can be achieved with contributions from EcoTechnology. EcoTechnologies are devices and systems that when integrated into the built environment enable sustainable development of human settlements.EcoTechnology will be appropriate for the cultural setting, environmentally sustainable as well as economically viable with the right business model. Thereby it contributes to sustainable livelihoods as a chief outcome. Integrated EcoTechnology achieves sustainability through combination of: Water sensitive urban design, passive solar built form, renewable energy, permaculture, resource recovery from closed loop systems and regenerative mobility.With increasing urban population density in built environments Integrated EcoTechnology optimises performance through environmental sensors informing the control systems via cloud computing. I have a range of research students across a range of topics related to environmental sustainability and environmental engineering: Resource flows, energy efficiency, thermal performance and wastewater recycling in green buildings, precincts and urban villages. Solid waste management on island settlements. Energy and water efficiency in mining settlements. Environmental health infrastructure in remote indigenous communities and developing countries. Sustainable design for remote tourist developments. My approach to this research area of Integrated Eco Technology is generally as follows: 1. Aspirations or problems articulated by community, eg avoidance of water wastage, desire for sustainable energy, thermal comfort by natural means, local food production. 2. Build solutions using community engagement, sustainable livelihoods framework, site analysis, auditing of current resource flows, urban metabolism modelling, simulation, testing of prototypes. 3. Draw general conclusions that can contribute to Integrated EcoTechnology. 4. Establish industry partnerships. 5. Promote promising business models. 6. Seek investors and/or commercialisation partners. 7. Publish research outcomes 8. Marketing materials and promotional events 9. Supporting Student Projects 10. Future Focus I have tackled problems in these areas: a) Resource flows, thermal performance and wastewater recycling in urban villages. b) Solid waste management on island settlements. c) Energy efficiency in mining settlements. d) Environmental health infrastructurure in remote indigenous communities and developing countries. e) Sustainable design for remote tourist developments. Resource flows in urban villages: What: Suburban areas in many cities consist of poorly designed built environments. Many people living in these environments are attracted to transit-oriented developments that can be more environmentally sustainable and culturally diverse. The Problem: Suburban sprawl is typically large carbon footprint, high water use, car dependent, low food production. Buildings’ thermal performance is poor therefore being uncomfortable to live in, also with lack of daylighting. This results in high inputs of energy to achieve desired comfort levels and peak loads on electricity network. The Solution: A more compact urban form with passive solar design, BIPV and EV storage, rainwater harvesting, MBR for wastewater recycling to dual reticulation for non-potable uses and dripline subsurface irrigation of local food production. Solid waste management on island settlements: What: Many island settlements around the world require much of their consumer goods and foods to be brought in on ships containing much packing materials. This generates large amounts of solid wastes. Island residents are seeking sustainable livelihoods. The Problem: Solid wastes including biosolids are usually disposed of to poorly designed and managed landfill sites. Leachates from landfill sites contaminate groundwater and emit greenhouse gases to the atmosphere from the decaying organic wastes. Poorly managed sites attract pests and vermin and create foul odours. Managers often respond by continually burning at the tip face resulting in more atmospheric pollution and hazards. The Solution: Effective MSW collection systems that separate and then process organics and recyclables. Composting, anaerobic digestion or thermal treatment of organic wastes create biofuels, soil improvers for local food production and sustainable livelihoods. Energy efficiency in mining settlements: What: Energy and water efficiency in mining settlements has low priority due to its relatively low cost significance alongside mine energy and water use, labour costs and life of mine itself. However, costs of implementation are low and payback times short, usually less then life of mine. Benefits also are manifold with mine worker participation activities and spinoffs into the broader built environment industry. The Problems: BAU practice is power line from mine to village even though this can be more expensive than standalone RAPS at village. Accommodation modules have very low thermal performance requiring 24/7 air-conditioning. RO desalination water supply plant runs 24/7 to supply all uses. WWTP runs 24/7 to deal mainly with only low strength greywater. The Solution: RAPS PV +wind +genset +battery storage can be cheaper than power line. Run PVRO during daylight for drinking water only. Use raw groundwater and recycled wastewater for non-potable uses. Greywater diversion to landscape irrigation to reduce volumetric load on WWTP. Environmental health in remote indigenous communities. What: Community members are looking for sustainable livelihood opportunities. Poor housing, water and sanitation infrastructure is common. The Problem: Consequently environmental health outcomes in these communities and developing countries are very poor also with high incidence of disease. Combined with poor infrastructure this also contributes to peoples’ low capacity for work. The Solution: Innovative low cost solutions to public health infrastructure identified and built with local community participation. Sustainable design for remote tourist developments: What: Tourist developments in remote areas and islands are often dependent on imported and expensive fuels, water and food. The Problem: Planning and design often focusses on quality accommodation and ecological experiences but ignores the TBL sustainability opportunities of the facilities themselves. The Solution: A resort planning and design tool can identify TBL viable technologies for buildings, energy, water, food and waste management. Commonalities between these research areas: Social outcomes are ultimately the goal in all settings = economic viability and sustainable livelihoods. Application of new scientific knowledge will assist in many situations in the form of an ecotechnology integrated effectively into the built environment as an engineered system with local knowledge and participation. Reduced ecological footprint is also the outcome and therefore longer term sustainability. Findings are often transferrable to mainstream settings.
