Vanessa Menadue

Dr. Vanessa Menadue is an Assistant Professor at Bond University's Faculty of Society & Design, with additional responsibilities as a Senior Teaching Fellow at the Centre for Comparative Construction Research. She holds a PhD from the University of Adelaide focused on environmental performance and user perceptions of green commercial buildings.

Her research explores sustainable construction, building environmental performance, urban development patterns, and construction industry innovation. Core interests include occupant-environment interactions, energy efficiency in built environments, and sustainable urban growth strategies.

Publications demonstrate a consistent focus on sustainability transitions in construction, with recent work examining digitalization impacts, household energy dynamics, and climate adaptation frameworks. Research employs mixed-methods approaches including case studies, modeling, and policy analysis.

She leads projects such as the LiDAR-based assessment of building defects and collaborates internationally on construction innovation research. Current work examines coordination mechanisms between climate adaptation and mitigation strategies.
