Spaces Alive started as a software application called Rate My Space to measure occupant experience in workplaces. Rate My Space was a concept developed from a university research project examining how to improve the energy performance of buildings whilst maintaining healthy working environments for occupants. After winning a 2015 Curtin Innovation award, Rate My Space was selected under competitive merit for the 2016 Curtin Accelerate research commercialisation program.
Led by Dr Samantha Hall, Spaces Alive is grounded in a science-based approach that brings sustainability, wellbeing and evidence-based design together.
