Agenda
Tuesday, 16th September 2025 — Masterclass: Highly Energy Efficient Buildings
12.30pm Welcome by GBCA
12.31pm 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.
Moderator: Jess Roberts, Technical Advisor, Market Transformation, Green Building Council of Australia
12.55pm Presentation: Achieving Energy Efficiency
Achieving measurable reductions in energy use requires moving beyond theory to real world and operational excellence.
Speaker: Dr Paul Bannister, Director of Innovation, DeltaQ Pty Ltd
1.20pm Presentation: Enclosure Commissioning for energy efficiency
Commissioning is quality control for energy efficient buildings. It starts early by aligning the design with intent and continues through to delivery. Hear how good commissioning, particularly for air tightness, ensures your building performs well.
Speaker: Sean Maxwell, Scheme Manager, ATTMA Australia and New Zealand
1.45pm Presentation: Digital Foundations: Leveraging technology and automation to drive energy efficiency
How do technology, automation and smart analytics transform building data into actionable insights? Find out how you can use data to boost energy efficiency and operational outcomes.
Speaker: Haibo Chen, Head of Global Services, Bueno
2.10pm BREAK
2.20pm Case study: 6-8 Parramatta Square
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
2.45pm Case study: Civic Quarter 1
Thanks to meticulous design-phase planning an ongoing commissioning, tuning and operational optimisation, this building is a stand out; hear more about how this was achieved.
Speaker: Ryan Flack, Sector Lead, NABERS
