Adrian’s research will develop a tool for predicting daylight levels and the average reflection coefficient in a precinct if a building is to be<br />
constructed or changed. The tool will also determine the relationship between building position, dimensions and luminance. The intended benefits<br />
for industry include assisting architects, city planners and developers to design buildings to incorporate comfortable light levels<br />
and reduced glare and pollution due to less use of lights, heaters and air conditioners.<br />

Colleen’s research aims to identify the level of attention Australian organisations give to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and establish<br />
whether there is a relationship between the levels of attention given to CSR and the effects on a company’s financial performance. The intended<br />
benefits to industry include improved information for those implementing CSR strategies and identifying CSR dimensions in relation to<br />
financial performance.<br />
