SUMMARY:Contracted Cleaning Services for Healthy & Efficient Buildings
DESCRIPTION:There is growing evidence that facility cleaning services can have a big impact on a building’s air quality\, and occupant wellbeing. The implementation of green cleaning protocols can directly help your organisation achieve up to four Green Star Performance credits\, and improve your landfill and energy targets. Yet the challenge of engaging with contracted services and an after-hours workforce\, means that many opportunities for training\, measuring and improving performance are lost. \nIn this 45 minutes webinar\, Bridget will explain how to influence existing contractor agreements and embed stronger controls into future procurement process. \nLearning outcomes: \n\nUnderstand which cleaning service requirements can directly and indirectly help your organisation to achieve Green Star Performance credits.\nLearn how to identify the leverage points within existing cleaning contracts and how to use them to engage with after-hours cleaning personnel and managers. Receive a practical guide to the five key aspects of the procurement process necessary for building stronger and more measurable future agreements.\n\nAbout the presenter: Bridget Gardner is considered the Australian authority on sustainable cleaning practices. She was the technical expert in cleaning during the development of Green Star-Performance\, a Director on the former Construction and Property Sector Industry Skills Council (CPSISC)\, and is a frequent contributor to industry journals. As Director of Fresh Green Clean\, Bridget has provided training\, auditing and contract documentation since 2006\, and has worked in the cleaning industry for 17 years. She is skilled at researching and translating complex information into practical and actionable information\, is a qualified trainer and facilitator and an experienced and dynamic presenter.

SUMMARY:Community development: the people perspective
DESCRIPTION:What is community development? \nCommunity Development is never\, ever ‘done’. It is a living\, breathing\, changing contextual space that is as varied as the community it embraces. It is acutely dependant on motivated leaders and participants acting in a way that matters to them for the betterment of their own social space. Discovering the bespoke opportunity in each locale can be challenging… but equally rewarding. \nInviting egalitarian conversation with community partners allows space for innovative programming and acknowledges the real and perceived barriers and solutions available. \nIn this webinar we will discuss some of the types of partnerships I have found to be most successful at different stages of the community lifecycle with ‘real-world’ examples. These stakeholders can include; Not for Profit\, those in the education space\, resident groups and different levels of government and more. I am equally interested in hearing your real experience examples as a learning for all of us. \nJoining us in this session: \n\nJessica Clark is a Community Development Manager at Frasers Property Australia. Jessica works on Shell Cove\, a joint venture project between FPA and Shellharbour Council. It is the largest coastal tourist/residential development ever initiated by a Local Government Authority in Australia. The project includes over 3000 residences\, a 300 berth marina\, retail and recreational facilities\, hotel and apartments\, waterfront dining and community parks\, playgrounds and cycle ways. Before working in property Jessica worked in the International Development sector on community development and environmental advocacy projects. She also consults with Strategic Development Group\, based in Yass and Wollongong.\nMichelle Mrzyglocki is the WA Community Development Manager at Frasers Property Australia. Working across a wide variety of projects including land and built form/vertical communities Michelle has been involved with many initiatives including Community Centres\, Community Gardens\, Not-For Profit\, Education and Government partnerships\, events both large and local. The importance of multiple stakeholder engagement plays a big role in her work and marks the foundations for the meaningful legacy projects we strive for in CD. Michelle was previously a Community Development Consultant\, MC and event organiser.

SUMMARY:Life Cycle Exposure to Chemicals in Buildings - How Risky?
DESCRIPTION:The move towards more energy efficient and tighter buildings might lead to increased consumer exposure to the thousands of chemicals embedded in building materials. \nThis seminar will present new high throughput methods to characterize the population exposure to tens of thousands chemical-product combinations used in building materials and cleaning products\, using method of lines and other modeling approaches. \nWe demonstrate the application of these tools via a comparison of potential human health impacts associated with different alternatives to phthalates (DEHP) as plasticizer in vinyl flooring over its life cycle. \nWe will also shortly look at an advanced tool presently developed for modelling both chemicals mass balance and energy balance\, and how it can inform building and ventilation design and strategies. \nWe finally discuss how this works\, and provide a scientific basis for the international management of chemical in products in a life cycle perspective\, in the frame of the UN environment Global Chemical Outlook II.

SUMMARY:Key Design Principles of Passive House
DESCRIPTION:What is passive house? And what impacts can it have? \nDuring this webinar\, learn the latest from a leading expert in passive house with an opportunity for live Q&A with the presenter Andy Marlow\, an accomplished architect and a Director at Australian Passive House Association. \nKey learning areas include: \n\nHigh Performance Windows: How low-emissivity double or triple glazing with thermally broken or non-metal frames can allow solar radiation to penetrate during the winter months (free heating!) but limit during the summer.\nThermal Insulation: Sufficient insulation is what’s needed within the building’s envelope\, providing enough thermal separation between the inside environment and the outdoors.\nMechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery: How ventilation recovers heat and cool that would otherwise be wasted whilst also filtering the air that’s coming into the building.\nAirtightness: Ensuring there are only a very limited amount of gaps and cracks within your envelope\, giving you full control over your internal environment\nThermal Bridge Free Construction: using materials that are less conductive to heat (i.e. timber in place of metal) and/or incorporating thermal breaks.

SUMMARY:The energy internet - distributed generation and blockchain
DESCRIPTION:How distributed generation and blockchain are transforming legacy power networks into community owned economic engines \nOur energy networks are a work in progress. We are now seeing the accelerated uptake of distributed generation\, storage and blockchain applications transforming legacy electricity networks into community owned economic engines. \nDuring this webinar\, James takes us through the major energy market changes that have transformed the energy market during the past 10 years and discuss his latest research on distributed generation and blockchain\, based on a range of local and international case studies. \nThe presentation discusses: \n\nNational and global solar and storage uptake\nPrice trends\nCase study: Three sites in the WGV housing precinct: GenY\, SHAC in addition to Evermore.\nResults Opportunities for the building sector\n\nBackground Interconnected local energy markets have emerged as an anticipated outcome of a monumental shift in the electricity industry away from centralised network planning. Monolithic business models\, characterised by fossil fuelled bulk generation and one-way delivery are being disrupted by decentralised renewable models complemented with storage. The lesser the distance between the generator and consumer means the opportunity exists to dramatically reduce network costs through the better utilisation of localised distribution infrastructure\, and challenging the prevailing transmission infrastructure heavy approach to network design. Innovations from the sharing economy are now entering utilities\, from which end users play a more active role in both production and consumption of electricity and where the marginal cost of this power will tend towards zero. \nPresented by James Eggleston\, Senior Analyst\, Power Ledger

SUMMARY:Comparative energy efficiency outcomes of key HVAC systems – a world-first study
DESCRIPTION:The webinar will present the key objectives\, dynamic simulation parameters\, process and outcomes of this unique study. The study has relevance to all associated with the built environment from investors\, developers\, builders\, ‘green’ organisations\, designers to facility managers and operators. \nWorld First Study – Background information: Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) has become an integral component of all commercial buildings providing indoor comfort conditions for occupants. Technological innovations have led to development of various types of HVAC systems – from conditioned air supplied overhead via ceiling mounted diffusers to floor outlets providing air from an under floor arrangement. \nThere is also radiant and convective cooling through cold surfaces (‘chilled beams’ – essentially chilled water coils) located in ceiling spaces. \nHVAC systems contribute significantly to energy consumption of a building on an on going basis – in the order of 75 – 80% of the base building energy costs.  This needs to be taken into consideration when selecting the type of HVAC system at the initial design stage for a new project or indeed for a major retrofit. For the first time a comparative dynamic simulation analysis of key system configurations prevalent in Australian buildings\, namely Variable Air Volume (VAV)\, Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD) and Passive Chilled Beam (PCB) systems has been performed from an energy efficiency perspective. Research\, commissioned by the ARBS Foundation\, was carried out by Team Catalyst. \nIt is the first study where the energy performance of these three systems has been carefully modeled\, when applied to the same hypothetical building. It is unique because it has been carried out by experienced practicing engineers\, involved in the design\, specification and ongoing monitoring of HVAC systems as installed in buildings.

SUMMARY:Tall Buildings & Sustainable Design
DESCRIPTION:Philip Oldfield\, Associate Professor of Architecture at UNSW Sydney\, shares insights on the sustainable performance of tall buildings\, and strategies to reduce their carbon footprint. \nTall buildings are a divisive building type. There are many who think they are inherently unsustainable\, pointing to their high energy requirements\, greater material needs and general unsuitability for family housing. However\, others highlight their ability to foster high-density living and low-carbon lifestyles as an opportunity for efficient future cities. \nIn this webinar\, Philip Oldfield talks about the evidence base for and against tall buildings from a sustainability perspective\, covering both environmental and social factors. Drawing on the findings of his book\, “The Sustainable Tall Building: A Design Primer”\, published by Taylor and Francis\, he highlights the architectural ideas\, engineering strategies and cutting-edge technologies available to improve the performance of tall buildings in the future. \nThe presentation provides insight into designing social spaces at height\, zero carbon towers\, appropriate façade design\, Passivhaus thinking\, tall timber and low-carbon structures and renovation opportunities.

SUMMARY:Embedding sustainability in aged care
DESCRIPTION:To incorporate and embed sustainability\, aged care organisations need to take a long-term view towards managing their environmental and social risks as well as impacts. The foundation in supporting the business case for sustainability in aged care can be categorised into two areas: operational efficiencies and enhanced brand reputation. \nHaving a robust sustainability vision\, policy\, strategy and action plan can significantly reduce operating costs\, eliminate waste\, create energy efficiency\, further engage employees\, strengthen a company’s brand value and potentially open up new opportunities. \nIn this webinar\, we will explore the process of building sustainability from the ground up and ‘painting on a blank piece of canvas’. The mandate to get it right from the start is critical to the longevity of the sustainability movement. Hence\, this presentation also details the business case on kick-starting a program that is almost ‘unchartered territory’ for the business and its stakeholders. \nKey areas to be covered: \n\nThe importance of forward thinking\, believing in the change and leading by example\nPrioritising what you want to achieve; you can’t do everything!\nCommunicating the why and the what even when you don’t know the how\nRegis’ sustainability outcomes\n\nJoin Dr Kaushik Sridhar\, National Sustainability Manager\, Regis Healthcare\, to learn how to make sustainable change stick.

DESCRIPTION:The Green Star Buildings rating tool is bringing a new social dimension to the design and construction of buildings\, driving the creation of places with people as the focus. The People category introduces social procurement and workforce targets for disadvantaged and underrepresented groups including Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander businesses\, social enterprises and/ or disability enterprises. \nThis Insights into social procurement and workforce webinar takes you through the credit outcomes and achievements and discuss several project examples and strategies. We unpack the two different pathways to achieve this credit\, directly through workforce targets\, or indirectly through social procurement.  \nHear how the national landscape is changing and what the opportunities are for the built environment.  \nKey learnings: \n\nidentifying social procurement and workforce objectives\ndeveloping employment programs and training\nworking with social enterprises \n\nSpeakers: \n\nMolly James\, Social Procurement Lead\, Social traders\nClaire Parry\, Managing Director\, Infrastructure Skills Advisory\nAnna Robson\, Chief Executive Officer\, Refugee Talent\nAngela Simons\, National Manager\, Renew Australia\nGreg Rafferty\, Social Inclusion Manager – Infrastructure & Major Projects\, John Holland

SUMMARY:Insights into inclusive design
DESCRIPTION:The built environment can contribute to a more equal and inclusive society if the places where we live and work\, the facilities we use and our neighbourhoods are designed to be accessible and inclusive. \nBut how can we improve how this is achieved? \nWhat should we be considering now as we plan future projects and future communities? \nThis webinar features current projects and innovative thinking across three presentations.

SUMMARY:Insights into electric vehicles in the built environment
DESCRIPTION:With the Australian Government putting millions of dollars towards adoption of electric vehicles there is no doubt that the complete take-up of emissions-free vehicles across our communities is only a few years away.   \nView this online session to examine the current state of the industry and its future. We examine how the influx of EV will impact the built environment\, how the industry can prepare and what is already being done. \nThis session covers: \n\nFindings from the ACT \nEV trial  for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) experimentation\nWays of upgrading workplace power supply to allow for on-site fast charging\nImproving access to charging refuelling sites\nFuture proofing properties for charges to be added as needed\nCurrent policies and regulations\nRetrofitting in practice\, and how to manage the power source at peak times\n\nThis is a unique opportunity to learn about the current state of electric vehicles and charging solutions in Australia\, as well to learn about the results from the retrofitting trials on a large scale.
