Скачать или смотреть Scaling housing supply through modular prefabrication - Professor Tuan Ngo

Professor Tuan Ngo provided an overview of the DBI (Decarbonising the Building Industry) network and its mission before focusing on Australia's housing supply crisis and the construction sector's decarbonisation challenge. He highlighted the government's 1.2 million homes target, the industry's productivity lag, persistent labour shortages (especially in regional areas), material issues and slow adoption of digital and offsite methods. Drawing on Australian and international modular/prefabricated projects - including high-performance facades, multi-storey modular student apartments and high-rise structural systems - he demonstrated how offsite construction, standardisation, mass customisation, digital twins, AI and circular design can deliver faster builds, lower lifecycle costs, reduced waste and significantly lower embodied carbon. Collaboration across developers, designers, constructors, researchers and government was presented as the critical enabler for scaling these solutions.
