Research commercialisation
We worked with researchers from UNSW to develop a path to impact and commercialisation plan for the Built Environment Impact Framework (BEIF).
The framework encourages and supports strategic conversations about impacts – both positive and negative – of the built environment, and how projects can help deliver benefits across economic, environmental and social dimensions and to a broader range of stakeholders.
Our Role
Our team was engaged to develop a path to impact and commercialisation plan for the Built Environment Impact Framework (BEIF) developed by UNSW.
The Built Environment Impact Framework is a new way for built environment practitioners to strategically consider and prioritise the environmental, social and economic issues most relevant to a project and its location.
About the Tool
The Tool provides a practical process for a team, to develop a vision for a building project, prioritise the thematic areas and issues that are most material to its stakeholders, and identify tangible goals and indicators to embed their vision into the project’s design, implementation, monitoring and reporting.
The Tool complements existing building rating tools such as Green Star. It is a process-based and qualitative decision support tool that helps identify broader value opportunities of built environment projects, helping link vision and strategy to prioritisation and action.
The Tool Is intuitive, open source, scalable (from single building to regions) adaptable and readily integrates with existing decision-support systems.
