Located 6km southeast of the Perth CBD, Curtin University’s Bentley campus spans 116ha and comprises over 100 buildings supporting academic, administrative, commercial, residential and recreational uses.
Research activities for this case study align with a scheduled campus masterplan review being undertaken by Curtin Properties, Facilities and Development, as well as the preparation of the University’s decarbonisation strategy. This provides an opportunity to embed research into this major mixed-use precinct.
Initial research is focusing on the piloting of a Digital Twin platform as a decision support tool to understand the impact of increased space utilisation, improved energy efficiency outcomes and the integration of Consumer Energy Resources (CER). Future research activities will test a novel integrity framework to support Curtin’s decarbonisation efforts and the role of green infrastructure in supporting net zero outcomes will also be explored.
