The project will utilise energy use data to assess the potential impacts on carbon emissions, with the aim of establishing best practice urban design guidelines for the Top End. The candidate will use mathematical modelling to assess and develop principles for built form and urban design, in close collaboration with housing developers and utilities. CDU says it is a great opportunity to launch a career in the green building sector.
The successful applicant will be supported by a scholarship stipend for three years at $40,000 per annum. Additional funding to the value of $10,000 per annum will also be made available to assist with operational costs associated with the research.
