After seven years of operation, the CRC for Low Carbon Living expects to exceed all of its founding goals in carbon emissions reduction, national economic benefit, education, planning and policy.
The CRCLCL’s Exit and Highlight Report 2012-2019 showcases these achievements and offers an overview of how its legacy will continue to inform the low carbon built environment sector.
Key achievements include:
- 8Mt CO2e cumulative savings by 2020 & over 100Mt by 2027
- $1.116 billion in economic benefit to Australia by 2027 – a cost benefit ratio of 9.5:1
- 52 higher degree research students graduated with skills in the low carbon built environment sector, plus 41 expected to graduate by 2020
The CRCLCL has been a valuable partner of ASBEC and worked alongside us to produce reports: The Bottom Line, Built to Perform and Growing the Market for Sustainable Homes, while supporting many other projects and initiatives.
Although 2019 will mark the end of the CRCLCL’s operation, its work will continue through six Nodes of Excellence established in Australian universities, and the BuiltBetter knowledge hub – a website collating low carbon built environment research for ongoing use in the sector.
