Greening the Existing Building Stock

While new buildings are becoming increasingly energy and water efficient, the overwhelming majority of existing buildings in Australia were built without any consideration for sustainability. The transformation of the existing building stock is regarded as the biggest challenge facing owners, government and the building industry today.

At the 8th Annual Green Building and Design Conference you will network with experts, expand your knowledge and be inspired to implement new strategies in your current projects. You will be informed about the latest developments in policies, technologies and projects in the commercial and the residential sector.

Site visits, presentations and discussions will illustrate how theory has been put into practice and can be used to refine theory.

Topics:

• key strategic issues and trends in the refurbishments of residential and commercial buildings
• successful mitigation and adaptation strategies
• mandatory disclosure of building performance
• retrofitting heritage listed buildings
• post occupancy studies
• economic strategies in improving building performance
• life cycle analysis in the decision making process
• non-technical factors influencing successful retrofits

This conference provides a perfect opportunity for professional development and will boost your skills in the related fields of engineering, environment, architecture, construction and planning. The conference also forms part of RMIT University's single course Sustainablity in the Built Environment.
