Dr Glenn Costin is a Senior Lecturer in Construction Technology at Deakin University's School of Architecture and Built Environment within the Faculty of Science Engineering and Built Environment. Based at the Geelong Waterfront Campus in Victoria, Australia, he contributes significantly to research and teaching in sustainable construction, building technology, and environmental performance of buildings.
His educational background includes a Doctor of Philosophy from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, a Bachelor of Education from the University of Melbourne, and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Anthropology & International Relations from Deakin University.
Dr Costin's research spans multiple critical areas including sustainable construction, life cycle assessment, zero carbon housing, bushfire resilience, and renewable energy integration in the built environment. His work demonstrates a strong commitment to addressing practical challenges in construction through rigorous academic research with real-world applications. His research consistently bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation in the construction industry.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a clear trajectory toward sustainability-focused research, particularly in life cycle assessment methodologies, zero carbon housing policies, and bushfire resilience strategies. His work increasingly integrates digital technologies like digital twin modeling with traditional construction practices, reflecting the industry's technological evolution. The geographic focus of his research spans Australia, with growing international collaboration particularly in Asia and Europe.
Dr Costin actively supervises doctoral students working on cutting-edge research topics including environmental life cycle assessment of capital goods, circular economy in construction waste management, and digital twin platforms for flood risk management. His current grant funding includes a $40,000 research project with the Office of the Australian Building Codes Board focused on VETHE Undergraduate Education (2023-2024).
His teaching and research supervision directly support the development of future construction professionals equipped to address sustainability challenges in the built environment. His work with students reflects his commitment to advancing knowledge in sustainable construction practices and technologies.
