As buildings electrify, energy efficiency is no longer just about reducing kilowatt hours; it’s also about how buildings interact with the grid. This session explores the concept of grid-interactive efficient buildings which use strategies such as time-of-use management, load shifting, smart controls, and battery storage to align building energy demand with a renewable-powered grid. With solar […]

As our net zero deadlines draw closer and with less capital available for new builds the need to do more with what we have is critical. Reimagining, reusing and refurbishing our existing buildings over demolition brings a myriad of benefits including the reduction of embodied and upfront carbon, energy efficiency, cultural preservation and sustainable practice. Learn […]

Exploring the basics of embodied carbon. Embodied carbon is one of the most important factors in meeting goals for achieving net-zero. However, it is an inherently complex issue that requires innovative, coordinated and collaborative approaches to make lasting change. What you’ll learn:The fundamentals of embodied carbon – what is it and why is it critical?Basics of measuring […]

Green Star Buildings v1.1 is the latest evolution of the Green Star Buildings rating tool. Five years in the making, this update sharpens the focus on climate action, nature and circularity, while introducing greater flexibility to make certification more accessible and practical for a wider range of projects.This webinar unpacks what’s changed, and what it […]

Government projects are increasingly complex, with layered contracts, varied delivery models and competing priorities. This webinar explores how to successfully embed Green Star outcomes across Design & Construct, Alliancing and hybrid procurement pathways, and how sustainability intent can be carried seamlessly from client briefing through to design, construction and commissioning, while using Green Star as […]

Electric vehicles are no longer just a transport consideration, they are a built environment issue with direct implications for emissions reduction, resilience and long-term asset performance. As uptake accelerates, sustainability professionals play a key role in shaping how buildings and precincts need to be adaptable and ready to support electrification.  This session explores evolving EV infrastructure, […]

Join us for the official launch of Green Star Fitouts – GBCA’s new rating tool for the sustainable design and construction of fitouts. Replaced every 5–7 years, fitouts are one of the most frequently updated, and least examined, elements of the built environment. Each cycle influences embodied carbon, waste, health and cost outcomes, yet these impacts […]

The living sectors are emerging as an opportunity for new models for sustainable growth that are redefining what future-ready dwellings looks like. As investor and occupant expectations rise, the sector must rapidly shift from incremental improvements to systemic, climate-positive outcomes. This 90-minute webinar will explore how the living sectors can accelerate decarbonisation, deliver climate-resilient housing and […]

Waste is no longer just something to divert, it’s a valuable resource. As we shift from a historic focus on landfill diversion to a more sophisticated, outcomes-driven approach grounded in circular economy principles, how do we embrace the next evolution of waste management in the built environment? In this session, we’ll examine how our understanding of waste […]

Australia’s energy transition is accelerating, and buildings are playing a critical role in shaping national energy outcomes. Energy efficiency, electrification, and smart technologies are not just about making individual buildings better, they are essential levers for reducing emissions, lowering costs, and enabling the wider adoption of renewables. This session explores how building owners and businesses can […]

Australia’s natural systems are in peril. From land clearing and ecosystem degradation to erosion and sedimentation, by its very nature this industry is a key contributor to nature loss, but it’s also critical lever for change.  The Green Building Council of Australia has released a new nature roadmap for the built environment, setting out clear […]

Embodied carbon represents a significant proportion of whole-life building emissions, and is set to climb dramatically by 2050. Eliminating embodied carbon from the supply chain is critical, but the pathways to achieve this are complex, requiring new design thinking, innovative technology, and strong industry collaboration. How can we work together to overcome barriers and accelerate […]

Airtightness is now a minimum expectation under Green Star Buildings, setting a new standard for improved building practices and performance outcomes. So how can you ensure success from the outset? Join our experts during this interactive masterclass as they examine successful projects and real results across design, testing and performance. What you’ll learn: Airtightness requirements in Green […]

This short course will equip attendees with practical insights into how modularity and modern methods of construction (MMC) can be scaled to deliver low carbon, resource efficient and circular outcomes.  Through a series of case studies and a dynamic panel, participants will explore how sustainability ambitions can be embedded into modular design, procurement and delivery […]
