THE TECCO ECOSYSTEM

Different expertise.
A more connected world.

Spatial intelligence meets the real world through technology companies, research institutions, appliance designers and the people who create buildings.

UNSW
Research ecosystem

Spatial intelligence for resilient, energy-efficient buildings

The planned UNSW–Tecco research programme connects spatial data, IoT, safety-aware decision support and building energy flexibility within the ARC FRIASA research context.

WAYS TO BUILD TOGETHER

Collaboration has
more than one shape.

Connect technologies.

Define device capabilities, interfaces and the operational context. A useful integration begins with a clear boundary and an observable outcome.

Integration approach

Investigate together.

Turn a building-scale challenge into research questions, a technical route and evaluation conditions. Explore the planned UNSW–Tecco programme.

Research collaboration

Work in real environments.

Work with Aqualand across more than 2,000 high-end residential settings to explore data analysis, resident feedback and the next generation of spatial intelligence.

Strategic field collaboration

Bring your part of the world.

A specific project, a research question or a technology worth connecting.
