About the DiD Hub
A platform for digital and low-carbon transformation
The Australian Digital Innovation & Decarbonisation (DiD) Hub is a collaborative platform established to support the digital and low-carbon transformation of Australia's built environment. The Hub responds to a growing national need to improve how buildings and infrastructure are planned, delivered, operated, and maintained in the face of climate pressures, carbon reduction targets, productivity challenges, and rapidly evolving technologies.
The DiD Hub brings together expertise from government, industry, and academia to advance innovation, support implementation, and accelerate the adoption of digital technologies for decarbonisation. Our core interest lies in the development of intelligent, data-driven, and transparent approaches to carbon management across the construction lifecycle.
We recognise that decarbonisation in the built environment requires more than good intention. It requires robust data, reliable methods, interoperable systems, and scalable digital tools that can support practical decision-making and industry adoption. For this reason, the Hub focuses on integrating BIM, AI, blockchain, and IoT into carbon-related workflows, enabling improved carbon estimation, real-time monitoring, evidence-based auditing, and emerging carbon market applications.
The DiD Hub also serves as a platform for collaboration, capability building, and knowledge exchange. Through workshops, partner engagement, pilot projects, and thought leadership, we aim to create stronger links between research innovation and real-world implementation.
Vision & Mission
Our Vision
To lead Australia's transition towards a digitally enabled, low-carbon, and resilient built environment.
Our Mission
To unite government, industry, and academia in developing and accelerating practical digital solutions for decarbonisation across construction and infrastructure.
What Makes the DiD Hub Different
What makes the DiD Hub distinctive is its focus on the integration of digitalisation and decarbonisation. Rather than treating these as separate agendas, we see them as mutually reinforcing. Digital technologies can improve the quality, traceability, and actionability of carbon data, while decarbonisation creates a strong need for better digital workflows, stronger interoperability, and more intelligent systems.
"Rather than treating digitalisation and decarbonisation as separate agendas, we see them as mutually reinforcing."
The Hub therefore focuses not only on innovation itself, but on innovation that leads to measurable impact, practical implementation, and long-term transformation across the built environment sector.
