    Abstract

    Climate change mitigation is driving demand for energy-efficient and environmentally conscious commercial buildings in Australia. In the Australian subtropics, high rainfall, warm weather and humidity present unique challenges and opportunities for the architects tasked with designing eco-sensitive projects.
    The case of the James Street Market in Brisbane’s
    Fortitude Valley shows that climate-responsive design
    is an effective approach for reducing the environmental
    impact of commercial developments. The James Street Market combines climate-responsiveness, environmentally sensitive design strategies and smart planning to create a more sustainable retail precinct.
    This paper details the design strategies featured in
    the James Street Market, the project that kicked off a
    renaissance in climate-responsive commercial building
    design in Brisbane.

    Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

    These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
