The aim is to chart the use of sustainable materials and practices in the construction of homes across Australia, building a database by which other citizen scientists can compare their sustainable homes against others in their state and across the country.
Digital Garden ran a series of focus groups, workshops and user interviews in a discovery phase with citizen scientists and partner agencies of the CSIRO. From there, we created a set of user requirements that served as the foundation for wireframes, UI design and the development of the new portal.
The project is now complete and is in a beta content-entry stage, with plans to launch later in 2023.
