Data centres play a vital role in the digital age, housing the services that power data storage, processing and training of generative AI models. But how can we meet their immense resource demands while ensuring sustainability, resilience and responsible growth? This session will explore the unique sustainability challenges and opportunities of data centres in the Australian […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

Sustainable finance is reshaping how the built environment adapts and invests in our collective future. The impetus to act is immediate; with climate targets, regulatory and investor expectations, organisations that move now will be best placed to capture opportunities, manage risk and lead in the transition to a low carbon economy. This comprehensive short course is […]

As cost pressures continue across the built environment, organisations are under increasing pressure to balance commercial outcomes with meaningful social impact. This session explores how social value is being defined, embedded and applied in practice, and why a more consistent, outcomes-focused approach is becoming essential across the sector. We’ll examine how social value is framed and […]

How can we amplify Indigenous design voices and move beyond consultation to true co-creation?Join us for a thought-provoking webinar exploring how meaningful First Nations collaboration can shape more inclusive, connected and enduring places. Through real project examples, we’ll examine how design outcomes informed by First Nations wisdom, storytelling and Country-centred principles can create richer community […]

The construction sector is projected to contribute around one-third of Australia’s total emissions, and that share is continuing to grow. As pressure increases to deliver lower-carbon projects, accelerating the adoption of low-emission construction practices has become critical. While many of the technologies and approaches needed to reduce site emissions already exist, uptake is often slowed […]

The path to better buildings starts with better materials. From embodied carbon to performance risks, material decisions are increasingly under scrutiny. Understanding what’s next in material innovation is now essential, not optional. This two-hour session is built for practitioners seeking insight into responsible material innovation and the market potential of emerging responsible products. Focusing on solutions […]

Australia is entering another period of hotter, drier conditions, with forecasts pointing to an emerging El Niño and renewed pressure on already constrained water systems. At the same time, shifting demand from high-intensity asset classes, particularly data centres driven by AI and digital infrastructure, is introducing added challenges. Against this backdrop, water is fast becoming one […]
