Published research highlights

	Side-stepping poor infrastructure Access is one of many functions that should be supported in urban environments in developing countries. This paper argues that the symptoms of the additional demands being made on urban environments should define how environments can be pro-actively adapted to meet a wider range of needs.

	Supporting the design and evaluation of complex built environments This paper describes the development of a Computational Building Simulation (CBS) tool, termed KRONOS, that addresses advanced architectural research questions, such as user behaviour in buildings.

	Performance evaluation tool for sustainable asset management The condition of the built environment needs to be assessed continuously to ensure sustainability. This paper describes the development of a condition assessment system and process, with examples of value addition to support sustainable construction.
