Delivering energy efficient buildings

18 Feb 2026

Agenda

12.30pm   Welcome: Prioritising energy efficiency and how this is recognised in Green Star

Energy efficiency remains a key priority for buildings, especially as the grid continues to decarbonise. Hear about why we must continue to focus on efficiency and how our Green Star ratings tools recognise and reward this in new and existing buildings.

Speaker: Jess Roberts, Technical Advisor, Market Transformation, Green Building Council of Australia


12.50pm  Energy Efficiency: why it matters and how it delivers – lessons from 6 – 8 Parramatta Square

Hear how aachieving measurable reductions in energy use requires moving beyond theory to real world and operational excellence. Specifically, the HVAC solution you’ll hear about in this case study is a standout example of technical ingenuity, spacial efficiency and sustainability in cutting-edge commercial architecture.

Speaker: Matt Williams, Principal ESD, LCI Consultants


1.25pm   Case study to be announced soon
