    EcoHome reflection on research outcomes in light of initial research grant intentions: a multidisciplinary approach to complex housing sustainability issues
    Hes, Dominique (Flinders University, 2006)
    Sustainability in the housing industry is a complex interrelated field of inquiry. In Melbourne, Australia, a consortium of seven industry, regulatory and policy organisation, two universities covering three disciplines (building, social science and engineering) came together to explore a multidisciplinary approach to the field through the EcoHome research project. This paper will summarise the journey of the EcoHome project and its outcomes, beginning with its intentions in 2001 to the home’s sale in 2005. The journeys of the three research projects is briefly outlined and discussed in light of the intentions of the project. This paper also reports on how this project resulted in a collaborative multidisciplinary approach to research called the ‘Triple Helix’ approach and the linked development of the Re-imaging the suburb research program.
