Low-energy Homes in South Australia

In 2017, in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University, University of South Australia, and RMIT, we conducted fieldwork at a groundbreaking low-energy housing development in Adelaide, South Australia. Our work explored the experiences of people living in the homes and developed the notion of adaptive comfort within the context of the transition to low-carbon living.
