Design, science and sustainability have come together at a Sydney Park stormwater project, which has now won a 2016 Good Design Award. [ + ]

A wildeye soil moisture system, recently installed at Wembley Golf Course in the Town of Cambridge, is being used to fine-tune irrigation and demonstrate efficiency. [ + ]

While 87% of Australians believe climate change is a present issue that we do bear responsibility for, the choice for many of these Australians in medium- and high-density living spaces to live sustainability is simply not available. [ + ]

Deployed on the wide open plains of northern NSW, in a region with high irradiance, NX Horizon's expansive arc harvests the solar potential of Australia. [ + ]

Olives are a hardy, drought-tolerant crop that recovers quickly from water stress. So why use soil moisture monitoring on olives? [ + ]

Researchers from RMIT University have shown how fired-clay bricks made with cigarette butts can save energy and help solve a global littering problem. [ + ]

Retrofitting New Zealand's commercial buildings to use less fossil fuel-generated energy could save enough energy to power many homes on the South Island. [ + ]

Over the last 10 years, Sydney Markets has been more effectively and efficiently managing its waste streams, with around 5000 tonnes of organic waste now diverted from landfill every year. [ + ]

In selecting the most efficient wastewater pump, do managers of assets just look for the pump with the best hydraulic efficiency? If so, they may not be winning the pump efficiency game. [ + ]

Origin Energy's Solar as a Service allows companies to enjoy the benefits of low-cost solar energy without having to make a capital investment in a solar system. [ + ]

Dr José Carlos Rubio has created a light-emitting cement that has a life span of 100 years. By absorbing solar energy and returning it to the environment, the material will be able to light roads, highways and bicycle lanes without the need for electricity. [ + ]

The introduction of NEXTracker's solar solution to the DeGrussa Gold and Copper Mine has paved the way for one of the largest integrated solar installations in the country, providing peak power load to an essential local business. [ + ]

Physicists have demonstrated a new artificial material, or metamaterial, that glows in an unusual way when heated. The findings could drive a revolution in the development of cells that convert radiated heat into electricity, known as thermophotovoltaic cells. [ + ]

A drone fitted with a thermal camera, designed to monitor buildings' energy efficiency, is being developed by students at the University of Strathclyde. [ + ]

Tyre recycler Green Distillation Technologies (GDT) was recently faced with the challenge of handling extra-large 'off the road' (OTR) tyres used by heavy-duty mining dump trucks, large agricultural tractors and road-making equipment. [ + ]
