4.4.1 Low Embodied Energy Module Materials

Investigators

 A/Prof. Brett Hallam, Dr Pablo Dias, Dr Marina Lunardi Partners: Aluminium companies, glass companies

Tasks

• Explore the possibility of using module materials (such as aluminium frames) for their low embodied energy.

• Collaborate with PP5, with modules using materials with low embodied energy subjected to reliability and durability testing in both lab and under field conditions. OF particular interest, will be locally produced aluminium and glass as both of these materials are energy intensive to manufacture.
