A large part of the design and project management activities of architect Garry Baverstock has included a research component.

A number of grants have been secured since 1975.

  1. Grant to publish the book "Low Energy Buildings in Australia [Vol 1 Residential]" (1983/84).
  2. Development of the "tecto" computer thermal analysis program via a CSIRO grant (1987/88).
  3. Development of the "Tecto Pergola" [solar pergola systems] via a Forest Industries and Commonwealth IR&D commencement grant (1982-1985).
  4. Monitoring and Evaluation of Thermal Inertia in Commercial Buildings via a AEDB grant [WA government] (1990-1993).
  5. Performance Evaluation of the Perth Zoo AEDB/CEED funding grant. It was a joint venture project with the university.
  6. Investigation of Energy Efficiency of Government Primary Schools in Western Australia. Funded by DHW and the Education Department (2001-2002).

Tecto Research is interested in projects concerning the use of solar energy in the building industry, and architectural science in relation to energy efficiency and passive solar design.
